not by the same way.

1)They give every program its opening book because they  want to test the level
of the program(good opening book is a part of it)

2) they do not do engine v engine but play with 2 computers so every program can
"think" in the opponent's time.

3)They play 2 hours per 40 moves and not 10 minutes for all the game.
