=== PSP professional RaceTo competition, 2009–2012 ===

PSP's 2009 announcement designated its professional competition as “Pro Race to 7 (Formerly NXL)” and introduced Semi-Pro RaceTo-7. Divisions 1 and 2 used RaceTo-5, Division 3 used RaceTo-4, and five-player competition adopted RaceTo-2 match scoring.[9]

Some contemporary coverage continued using the NXL name, despite PSP's revised professional designation.[10]

The national calendar contracted from five events to four in 2009. World Cup moved from Disney's Wide World of Sports to Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, Florida. The four-event calendar continued in 2010 and 2011 before returning to five events in 2012.[11][12]

Live internet coverage became part of PSP's event presentation. Following a webcast at the 2008 World Cup, the 2009 Phoenix Open used a multi-camera production with commentary and interviews.[10]

Severe weather disrupted the 2012 Galveston Island Open. Its unfinished professional competition was completed on 19 April at the Phoenix venue, before the separate Phoenix Open began. Tampa Bay Damage won the rescheduled Galveston final.[13]

Houston Heat subsequently won Phoenix, the Mid-Atlantic Open and World Cup, securing the 2012 professional season championship.[14]
