1. The problem with that is Pyrrha's skill with her polarity is in defensive maneuvers. All the confirmed times she's gone Magneto on someone involved huge displays of power because she ''hides'' her powers and doesn't do precision attacks. If she misjudges the force needed, Cardin's weapon flies out of his hand and her cover's blown. Speaking of Cardin, didn't he pass out right after Pyrrha's final attack? Even if he didn't, he was in no shape to keep fighting. Also, Glynda was right there to stop him, just like when he first fought Jaune. The second time, he was attacked by the Ursa that Jaune seemingly killed on his own. Cardin stopped, but was it because he was now following the rules, or he didn't believe he could break them anymore? People do bad things partly because they believe they can get away with it.

2. Okay, that one\'s on me. I don\'t re-watch episodes that often so I remembered that fight as Yang attacking a seemingly \"weakened and helpless\" Mercury and not a \"weakened but can still try to get away\" Mercury.
3. Based on what the show\'s given us, a person doesn\'t have to do anything obvious to use their powers, but they still need line of sight to their target. Emerald can use her powers at range, but she still needed to directly see Yang and Pyrrha, otherwise there\'s no reason for her to be in the stadium for the finals at all.
By registering Semblances, ringside authorities would have a list of powers to consult if something strange happened in a fight, and the students would be informed about this list when they register. If something happened that matched up with the list data, the student(s) in question would be the prime suspect(s). That\'s incentive right there for students to not cheat from the stands. However, if something happened that didn\'t match the list, the next step would be to investigate anyone with an unknown semblance. If such people are confirmed to have been in a designated viewing area (such Beacon\'s dining hall) and not in the stadium, the authorities have confirmed those students weren\'t physically able to interfere. Otherwise, unless those students have an alibi that places them outside the stadium, the team gets kicked out for violating regulations that they agreed to follow.
Even if semblance registration didn\'t seem obvious, it didn\'t need to be, it should already be there. Remember, this tournament has been going on for eight decades. Real world sports events, that use adult athletes, have scandals including drugs, assaults, and terrorism. Those events have updated their security over time. But \'\'nothing\'\', not even something bad, happened in a tournament that pits teenagers against each other in exotic martial arts/gun fights during those roughly 80 years that convinced people to update tournament procedures?
