Editing 2005 PSP season (section)

== National Xball League ==

The NXL remained a separate professional competition staged alongside PSP tournaments. Regular-season matches determined standings and World Cup play-off seeding, rather than separate NXL event champions.[3][4][9]

Boston Red Legion joined the NXL for 2005. Heavy rain at the opening SoCal event postponed matches, with additional games subsequently scheduled at later stops.[1][2][3]

=== Regular-season honours ===

Boston won the Eastern Conference and the Commissioner's Cup, awarded to the highest-ranked regular-season team. Oakland Assassins won the Western Conference.[4]

WARPIG's World Cup preview recorded Boston first overall with 26 points, followed by Chicago Aftershock and Oakland Assassins on 22 each, and Baltimore Trauma on 20.[9]

=== World Cup championship ===

The NXL used best-of-three qualifying and play-off series at World Cup. Baltimore Trauma defeated Boston Red Legion 8–6 and 8–7 in the championship final. Detroit Strange defeated Oakland Assassins 10–8 in the third-place match.[5]
