It wasn't so much the YYH dragged the fights out across multiple episodes, more that not a lot happened in the fights. DBZ on the other hand most definitely dragged it out over many episodes. DBZ is the only show I've ever encountered where tv time actually passed slower then real time. Freezer fires a blast into the planet which will destroy it in five minutes; six twenty-two minute episodes later, the count is down to two minutes. God that show was frustrating.

If you haven't seen Hunter x Hunter and like shonen action anime then I highly recommend it. It's on crunchyroll. One hundred and forty-two episodes and counting. And not an ounce of filler. Everything that happens is important, even if it doesn't immediately seem so.

There's a brief shot of what looks like Pyrrha fighting the entirety of CRNL in the volume two opening. I don't know if the tournament will actually weight things like that, though honestly it would really be their only chance of winning. (Though there's no proof that that scene or really any of the others is actually from the tournament and not actual combat elsewhere.)
