Of course people in the ring are allowed to use their semblances.

Which is what I said.

Out of the current cast there are multiple characters who could cheat though so it's not as uncommon as you'd think. Especially considering the sheer number of people in the audience.

Emerald, Pyrrha, Glynda, Qrow and Neo.

Considering how few character's semblances we know that is a significant number of people who can affect the outcome of a battle subtly.

Yes but I'm sure semblances have certain trends like the one that most require aura. Especially considering that semblances tend to be a huntsman's to huntress' go to I could see Ozpin wanting to understand them more.

True someone will always slip through but that doesn't mean you stop trying.

Also with all the time on his hands I'm not sure he has better things to do.

He doesn't do much.
