It may or may not happen this volume but the festival gives perfectly reasonable explanation for Pyrrha to be fighting Cardinal AND for the helljump sequence. I kind of doubt they would put a whole team against one person for the tournament. Seems more like what Ben suggested, though I would think it has to be a new thing that happens between them. Maybe it has to do with CRDL still being bigoted towards the Faunus rather than Jaune or Cardin's grudge against her.

Let's not forget Pyrrha is already a well know fighter. In Episode 3, Weiss tells Jaune how Pyrrha graduated top of her class and already won a tournment three times in a row. If she on the front of a cereal box, she might have sponsors like a star athlete. She might decide not to enter the tournment and her fight aginst CRDL could be just a exhibition match for The Vytal Festival.
