Trevor Melton, Brandon Bellotti and Pranoop Dsouza win CNRA state titles

Trevor Melton, Brandon Bellotti and Pranoop Dsouza finished atop the CNRA state-championship results post, with Melton taking Men’s Open, Bellotti winning Men’s Elite and Dsouza claiming Men’s A in a weekend that produced 74 matches on two courts in Pleasanton. The spread across three divisions says as much about the state pecking order as the individual trophies do: CNRA crowned players at the top end and deeper down the ladder, not just one headline winner.

The championships were listed for Aug. 21-23, 2026, at the Bay Club in Pleasanton, with singles on Friday and doubles over the weekend. CNRA’s state-championship page carried the official signup path through R2 Sports, keeping the event anchored on the association’s calendar as one of the marquee stops in California Nevada racquetball.

The 74-match, two-court format points to a full draw and a compressed schedule, the kind that rewards players who can recover quickly and stay sharp through repeated starts. Men’s Open and Men’s Elite titles carry the most weight in a state field because they sit closest to the circuit’s top level, while a Men’s A crown often marks a player moving up from the developing ranks toward tougher brackets.

Melton’s name shows up in another racquetball result as well, where he was listed with Christopher Ruano as part of a Men’s Doubles Open/Elite winning team in an outdoor recap. That broader footprint matters because it shows the same players competing across formats, not just in one bracket. Bellotti’s Elite title and Dsouza’s A division win round out a results sheet that looks less like a single upset and more like a clear snapshot of who is holding form at the state level.

For CNRA, the weekend delivered exactly what a state championship should: a large match count, multiple divisions, and winners whose names now sit at the top of the current results sheet. Melton, Bellotti and Dsouza left Pleasanton with the titles that matter most in their divisions, and the board is set for the next round of ranking pressure and rivalry.
