I believe it's possible. Try the folowing: File/New/Tournament, then name the tournament, invite the 6 engines and then check the box saying 'Opening DB'.Press the 'Opening DB' and select a database with the starting positions. (This is to say you need the database, say MyOpening.ctg, in order to do this). I use the same with Engine Match, where it corresponds to a shootout with two engines. I hope this is what you mean.
