Four hours of manual event-hunting,
replaced by a Sunday morning glance.

Blackout Media spent four hours every week checking three different BJJ league websites for upcoming tournaments to cover. Apeiron built an event intelligence pipeline that pulls events automatically and syncs the coverage calendar.

The Challenge

Manual event-hunting across three different league sites.

Luka's photography studio covers combat sports tournaments across the tri-state area — BJJ, MMA, wrestling. The pain wasn't booking; it was just knowing what was happening. Every week meant clicking through NAGA's site, IBJJF's calendar, Smoothcomp's tournament directory, copying dates into a spreadsheet, comparing them against the team's coverage capacity, and hoping nothing slipped. Four hours a week, every week, before any actual photography work could start.

What We Built

The build sheet.

Event Intelligence Pipeline

Pulls upcoming tournaments from NAGA, IBJJF, and Smoothcomp automatically. Dedupes across sources so the same event never lands twice.

Organizer Database

Every promotion in the region gets its own first-class entity record. 16 organizations seeded from Kai's wishlist plus auto-discovered new orgs.

Coverage Triage Tab

One-click actions per event: Cover, Drop, Open, Kill. The team's decisions get tracked. The dead events stop polluting the pipeline.

Calendar Sync

Covered events auto-create entries on the team's Google Calendar with the right title, location, and color-coding.

Organizer Outreach Pipeline

Draft, send, and track pitches to promotion owners. Status tracked per-conversation. No more lost-in-DMs.

Autonomous Cleanup Cycles

Past events get archived automatically. Cold pipeline gets pruned weekly. Manual maintenance hours dropped to near-zero.

The Story

How it came together.

Luka's team was good at the photography. The four hours of weekly admin work was the bottleneck. Apeiron didn't build a content management system — we built a piece of operational infrastructure that turned the league sites into a single calendar feed. The coverage team now sees a unified pipeline of upcoming events with one-click decisions, instead of three browser tabs and a spreadsheet. The four hours went back into shooting matches.
