It will be played using the "Official Matchplay Rules" which means there is no double baulking, meaning if when you come to the table after your opponents visit you can play behind the baulk line (except after the break off then standard rules apply), once your break has started you can no longer play behind the baulk line so its still possible to double baulk yourself in that instance.
