They weren't able to set the fights (As far as we know) until Ironwood touched his scroll to Ozpin's desk to display the hologram to Qrow/Ozpin/Glynda in episode 3.

Christ knows how. EITHER something to do with whatever was uploaded into the comms tower, or perhaps Ironwood is complicit in whatever scheme is unfolding episode-by-agonising-episode.

Technically from ep 3, but who knows.

....probably already been expounded. Ehh. We talked about this stuff after episode 3 already.

And Cinder definitely was already able to set the fights, considering that she and Emerald stated that they knew who was going to win in the JNPR vs BRNZ fight. They knew because Cinder gave Nora the advantage because of her Semblance. She gave them the stormy mountain biome and chose BRNZ as their opponent because of Nolan's cattle prod.
