We design the first polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for the Mini-mum Betweenness problem in tournaments and some related higher arity ranking prob-lems. This settles the approximation status of the Betweenness problem in tournaments along with other ranking problems which were open for some time now. We also show fixed parameter tractability of Betweenness in tournaments and improved fixed param-eter algorithms for Feedback Arc Set in tournaments and Kemeny Rank Aggregation. The results depend on a new technique of dealing with fragile ranking constraints and could be of independent interest
