== Season 8 ==
Season 8 was almost another season without the Royals. JorgesBankAccount was originally signed on to be coach of the Red Sox, but after leaving the server, the team was taken over by Eauxps I. Fourgott, who renamed them the Atlanta Royals. This was his secondary team, as he was already coaching the Melonheads. So, not much thought or effort was put into the Royals. They stumbled to an NL Central-worst 3-11 record, missing the playoffs. 
The Royals accepted an invitation to the Bonus Tournament for all non-playoff teams, and they gave it their all! They beat the Padres in an intense 3-game series, and advanced to face the Expos, where they lost in two games. The most impressive feat of the Bonus Tournament was that the Royals beat their season-high run differential (+5) in every single Bonus Tournament game they played. They posted scores of 13, 7, 28, 6, and 9.

== Season 9 ==
The Royals returned for Season 9, this time with coach Vissery. They played in the AL West, on the 2001 version of the game, and had a home field of Parks Dept. #2. Using the hitter-friendly home field to their advantage, the Royals loaded up on power hitters and were an extremely potent offense. They cruised to a 12-2 record, blowing out many opponents along the way.
In the playoffs, the Royals earned the top seed in the American League and swept the wild card Devil Rays in the first round. However, in the ALCS, the Cubs got revenge for a blowout loss in Week 4 and swept the Royals two games to none.

== Season 10 ==
=== 2001 ===
Vissery brought the Boston Royals back for Season 10. They played in the American League East at their home field of Steele Stadium. The Royals were once again feared for their fantastic offense. They performed very well once again, finishing 10-4 and claiming the first American League Wild Card.
Henri Deschenes had a particularly great season, and he won the American League MVP award in a close vote.
In the playoffs, the Royals went up against the 2nd seeded Astros, a team they beat in Week 14. The series was close and hard-fought, but the Astros prevailed in three games, ending the Royals' season.

On the 2003 side, coach arcothunder picked the Royals, naming them the Cincinnati Royals in homage to his favorite basketball team, the Sacramento Kings (formerly known as the Cincinnati Royals). The Royals played in the Frontyard League East at their home field of Dirt Yards. Near the end of the season, arco's computer broke down, leaving him unable to play the last few games. rBBL rookie The CRK stepped in for the final three games. Together, they led the Royals to a 6-8 record, out of the playoff picture.
In the Consolation Tournament, the Royals lost their first two games, but coach CRK was excited to fully participate in Season 11.
"Even if I went 2W-3L, technically 2W-1L if you aren't counting the consolation tournament, with a losing record, I hope I made Arco proud!" - The CRK.

== Season 11 ==
=== 2001 ===
Coach psanchez55 returned to the Royals after a few seasons off. They played at Playground Commons in the National League West. 
The Royals had a fantastic regular season, going 9-5 and earning the top wild card after a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Brewers. Due to that win over the Brewers, the Royals would have home-field advantage in the first round playoff series between the two teams. That first round series was one for the ages, as the Royals won Games 1 and 3 to win the series. In both games, Molly May of the Royals' AI hit a 2-run home run late in the game to win the match for the Royals.
In the NLDS, the Royals went up against the top seeded Expos, their division rival with whom they split the season series. After stumbling in Game 1, losing 12-7, the Royals stormed back in the next two games. The Royals beat the Expos 15-7 in Game 2 and in the decisive Game 3, the Royals won a defensive match, +2 to -2. 
In the NLCS, the Royals faced the #3 seed Red Sox at Big City Stadium. The bouncy terrain left the Royals defense in shambles, as the Red Sox easily won two games by scores of 26-16 and 50-19.

=== 2003 ===
In the 2003 league, the Kansas City Royals were also selected, this time by coach alex7456. He gave them a color scheme to match the Kansas City Monarchs, a team in the American Association. These Royals played at Dubois Diamond in the Frontyard League East.
The Royals used their big defensive field to their advantage, going 6-1 at home for an overall record of 8-6, earning them the final wild card slot in the FL. 
In the first round of the playoffs, the Royals faced the #3 seed Phillies, who had beat them in the regular season. The Phillies' big bats made quick work of the Royals' defense, as the Phillies won two games by scores of 15-5 and 14-4. Despite the loss, the Royals had a fun time and a nice unexpected playoff berth.

== Season 12 ==
=== 2001 ===
In 2001, the Royals were selected by The CRK, who set up the team in Playground Commons. The team had a slow infield and a few speedy players in the outfield.
The Royals finished 6-8, the last team in the American League to be eliminated from playoff contention. In the Consolation Tournament, coach Freakshow55 took over for The CRK. The Royals defeated the Hornets and knocked off the Tigers twice in a row to win the Consolation Tournament for 2001.
The team is most notable for Walter Hall, an undrafted player picked up by the Royals before the season began. His phenomenal pitching earned him the Ace Wilson award in the American League.
=== 2003 ===
Over in 2003, coach alex7456 returned to the Royals. The team played at Dubois Diamond and used a similar strategy as last season.
This version of the Royals did not live up to their previous season, finishing 7-7 and missing the playoffs. However, the team received two awards, with the Ace Wilson of the Frontyard League going to Marky Dubois and the Goldie Glove going to Pete Wheeler.
The Royals were one of the four teams that accepted an invitation to the Consolation Tournament for 2003. They defeated the Rockies, but lost to the Red Sox and were eliminated by the Blue Jays, finishing 3rd overall.
