I think changing the opening book should be plenty to put things round-about. Just give an extra wide "play anything" book with the original system, and use a debugged smaller book for the contest. Better yet, filter out all the sensible openings and make the "demo system" play 1. f3 all the time. ;-) No changes to the program needed, I think.
