An example depending on when she turned 17 Pyrrha Nikos was skilled enough to win Mistral Regional Tournament as young as 12. Since there is no mention age categories it is possible that she was fighting against individuals up to 5 years older then she was at that time. An even darker possibility is how many years was she in the Tournament before she won the first time. Think on that for a moment.

However when Glynda is mentioning the tournament, battles seem to end when a person's aura reaches a certain level. In a way it is like in the Pokemon show, where refs will call the match when they feel a Pokemon is unable to battle. Pyrrha may have won multiple years in a row, but the risk of death was probably very low.
