What do a made-for-TV golf league and a 200-team youth soccer tournament have in common?
They're both using AI to solve one of sports’ most underestimated problems: scheduling.

In the Forbes article "From TGL To Travel Sports, Fastbreak AI Is A Scheduling Power Play", writer Mike Dojc dives into how Fastbreak is bringing powerful, flexible scheduling technology to every level of the sports world, from the highest-profile leagues to the grassroots.

“The core premise is simple: scheduling—whether for a pro league or youth tournament—is not just a logistical task, it’s a business opportunity.”

The piece highlights Fastbreak’s optimization engine, used across the latest golf competition TGL, college conferences, youth sports tournaments, and sports commissions, delivering intelligent scheduling that drives efficiency, fairness, and revenue.

CEO John Stewart notes:

“We’ve built the same engine to schedule 20-team youth tournaments and 300-game pro leagues. The difference is just in the constraints.”
