Editing 2004 PSP World Cup

The '''2004 PSP World Cup''' was the season-ending [[Paintball Sports Promotions]] tournament, held from 23–30 October 2004 at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex in Florida. It included five-man, 10-man, professional and divisional [[X-Ball]], collegiate competition and the [[National Xball League|NXL]] championship.[1][2]

== X-Ball competition ==
PSP reorganised its X-Ball classifications before World Cup, moving the previous Division 1 teams into a professional division and redistributing teams among the lower divisions.[1]
