If I may put in my own vote, despite being the one running the tournament, (and I may because I'm the one running the tournament so I decide to allow it) I think I'd have to say that would Yang win and Weiss would win.

Pyrrha's defenses agains Ember Celica are limited, her shield is relatively small and even if she can gaurd against one punch, Yang can then get her from elsewhere with the next, and even if that fails she would be relatively forced onto the defence because an attempt to break cover and attack would get her shot. And she can't even wait it out on defense because Yang is likely to trip her, or flip over her or do something else really cool.

Weiss has a lot more desturctive force and can attack fairly large areas with rather frequent attacks, plus precision strikes like pinning hte Knight in the air in her trailer. Blake would not be able to do much at a distance just shooting a side arm so she would have to evade Weiss's attacks, hard to do, and get close enough to assassinate, once there should would still have to manage getting a clean hit when Weiss can more easily hit her with magic or use her own swordsmanship agaisnt Blake's.
