How do these competitions work? Presumably the contestants had the exploits ready to go beforehand? Or are they only told the application they need to hack on the day - that is truly impressive if so! Are there any restrictions on the tools the contestants can use (e.g. static/dynamic analysis tools)?

No, the applications that are available to attack are known in advance - the exploits tend to involve months of work by talented researchers.
