We design the first polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for the Minimum Betweenness problem in tournaments and some related higher arity ranking problems. This settles the approximation status of the Betweenness problem in tournaments along with other ranking problems which were open for some time now. The results depend on a new technique of dealing with fragile ranking constraints and could be of independent interest.
