Editing 2005 PSP Northeast Open

The '''2005 PSP Northeast Open''' was the fourth tournament of the 2005 [[Paintball Sports Promotions]] season, held from 11–14 August at the Turner Valley Complex in Pennsylvania. It featured divisional [[X-Ball]], five-man competition and the concluding regular-season matches of the [[National Xball League|NXL]].[1][2]

== Venue ==
The tournament moved from Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, its 2004 venue, to the Turner Valley Complex near Pittsburgh. A conflicting golf tournament meant insufficient accommodation was available near Nemacolin for the paintball event.[1]
