Better competitive opportunities
Create well-structured regional events that players can understand and look forward to.
Zelos means zeal
Built for the competitors who keep coming back.
Zelos exists to create stronger tournament experiences and a regional system that helps players compete, improve, and stay connected.
The idea
More than a weekend bracket.
Tournaments are the product. Sponsorships, affiliate coaches, volunteers, vendors, venue partners, and community programs exist to make those events stronger and easier to discover.
The long-term goal is a player-first tournament network across Northern Nevada and Northern and Central California—one that makes it easier to understand an event, register with confidence, and return for the next one.
