Honestly Pyrrha COULD go easy on Jaune. We all know that if Pyrrha actually tried she'd probably end up crushing him in a near humiliating defeat but, conaidering Jaune's lack of confidence in his abilities and Pyrrha's gentle and understanding nature, I could see her holding back.

Judging from her reaction in Jaunedice when Glynda brings up the Vytal Festival (in which Ruby and Yang can be seen failing to contain their excitement whilst Pyrrha looks downtrodden and entirely uninspired [though largely because Jaune gets decimated by Cardin]), we could even see her let Jaune win.

Sure Jaune would probably catch on and confront her about it but she doesn't seem to give a damn about the tourney as is; and Jaune "defeating" the Mistral Regional Champion would do wonders for Jaune's confidence and for how his peers view him.Or at least that's how Pyrrha could see it, Jaune could see as pity and actually get angry at Pyrrha for doing such a thing whilst some people might see straight through Pyrrha's facade and realise that she didn't try.
