More likely those that so desperately keep denying them.
Of all the points you address the rhetorical question with totally senseless comment that you think is funny?
Ppl probably tell you all the time that you are a funny guy so you seems to understand it literally. Well, let me tell you the obvious. They are being sarcastic.

Seems you don't even know TCEC competition rules.
Here is a manual for you.
Go to the page http://tcec.chessdom.com/live.php
On top bar press the middle button called "Rules". Scroll down to "Opening Books" section. Read and try to comprehend. Look for term "chess starting position", report the finding.
You are welcome .

As usual unrelated.
Every tournament uses opening books either with predefined positions or with random choice out of large book.
No-books tournaments of any significance simply don't exist.
