Editing 2003 PSP Las Vegas Open

The '''2003 PSP Las Vegas Open''' was a [[paintball]] tournament held from 30 April to 4 May 2003 at Ed Fountain Park in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. It was the second event of the [[Paintball Sports Promotions]] (PSP) championship series.[1]

Competition included five-player, ten-player and divisional [[X-Ball]], alongside [[National Xball League]] (NXL) regular-season matches.[1]

Professional and Amateur ten-player competition merged into a Pro/Am division. WARPIG's scoreboard continued to label this division Amateur.[1][3]
