Fastbreak AI Launches New AI Schedule Engine

Fastbreak AI, an AI-powered sports operations software company, has announced the launch of the AI Schedule Engine for amateur sports tournament operators in the Fastbreak Compete product.

The AI Schedule Engine is designed for high-volume sports events, enabling tournament directors to generate schedules in minutes. Fastbreak’s engine powers schedules for professional sports leagues around the world including the NBA, NHL, NWSL and MLS.

“This is a watershed moment for us and marks a significant milestone in Fastbreak’s mission to bring professional-grade tools to every level of sport,” said John Stewart, Fastbreak AI chief executive officer. “With thousands of amateur tournaments taking place every weekend across the country, the need for a scalable, intelligent solution has never been greater. This engine has been validated at the highest levels of sport and it will now be the backbone of youth and amateur athletics.”

Fastbreak’s engine handles every major scheduling format including bracket play, multi-venue and multi-day tournaments, automatically accounting for team preferences, time requests, coaching requests, blackout windows, rest periods, venue constraints and more. Once the schedule is generated, organizers can make edits using a drag-and-drop interface, with the platform providing feedback showing the impact of changes to help prevent conflicts.

“Until now, scheduling has been a bottleneck for tournament organizers across every sport,” said Ray Glassmann, general manager of Fastbreak Compete. “Organizers had two options: spend days manually moving teams around spreadsheets while trying to appease individual preferences, or outsource the task to someone else. The AI Schedule Engine removes that pain and gives you access to the same technology used by the biggest leagues in the world to build the most complex schedules.”
