Hey ZenSportsians!
Recently, we hosted the Early Bird Cup, in which 32 top Splinterlanders battled it out for $1,200 in crypto prizes, distributed directly on the new and updated ZenSports Play App immediately after the tournament concluded!
We were encouraged by the community’s support for a tournament at a new and earlier time, so we will be trying it out again, with a bigger prize pool!
Just like the Early Bird Cup, the Gold League Showdown Splinterlands tournament will be open to those who own a ZenSportsian NFT, or to those who purchase a single-entry ticket into the event.
Gold League Showdown Splinterlands Tournament
Thirty-two gold league Splinterlands players will face off in a double-elimination, bracket-style tournament on the ZenSports Play App.
Any additional questions can be addressed in our Discord Server, so check that out to stay up to date!

Tournament Entries
ZenSportsian NFT owners will receive an automatic FREE entry into the tournament. If you wish to play in the tournament but do not hold a ZenSportsian NFT, you can purchase a single entry into the tournament. Entry fee for non-NFT holders for this tournament is $50, and there will be $2,500 in prize money awarded to players (see exact prize pool above). Entries can be paid for in your cryptocurrency of choice within the ZenSports app.
How to Purchase a Tournament Entry for non-NFT Holders
If you don’t hold a ZenSportsian NFT and wish to purchase an entry fee to this tournament, follow these 3 steps:
- Register for the tournament within the ZenSports Play app.
- Look out for an email from the tournament host, Jacob Shrader, with the different payment options.
- Pay your $50 entry fee with the currency option of your choice directly in the ZenSports app!
Don’t want to jump through all of the above hoops to pay for a tournament entry? Buy a ZenSportsian NFT instead and get in for free for all tournaments! If you play at least 9 tournaments per year, you’ll save a considerable amount of money by buying a ZenSportsian NFT. You can buy a ZenSportsian NFT here:
