The '''2006 PSP Mid-Atlantic Open''' was the fifth tournament of the 2006 [[Paintball Sports Promotions]] season, held from 21–24 September at PBC Sports Park in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It featured divisional [[X-Ball]], five-man X-Ball and the first [[National Xball League|NXL]] All-Star competition.[1]

== Venue ==
