Editing Philadelphia Americans (section)

=== Texas Open victory (2006) ===

The 2006 season brought changes to the NXL competition structure.

The league moved away from a purely season-long franchise championship towards awarding professional tournament titles at individual PSP events. [5]

Philadelphia Americans won the opening event, the PSP Texas Open, held at Settlers Park in Round Rock from 16 to 19 February 2006.

The team advanced through the preliminary rounds before defeating San Diego Dynasty 11–4 in the quarter-finals.

Philadelphia then defeated Boston Red Legion 7–6 in the semi-finals.

In the professional final, the Americans defeated Baltimore Trauma 6–5 to claim the championship. [5]

The team subsequently competed at the 2006 World Cup, participating in both the NXL and the Intercontinental Cup.

In the latter competition, Philadelphia defeated Frankfurt Syndicate 5–0 before losing to Baltimore Trauma 4–1 in the semi-finals.

Philadelphia finished fourth in the Intercontinental Cup. [9]

The team ended the 2006 PSP professional season fourth overall, behind Boston Red Legion, Dynasty and Los Angeles Ironmen. [10]
