Ah, I think it's because they're races.
(Personally I think TCR/TABR should be allowed. They may be races but they're ridden in a very similar ethos to DIY Audaxes: unsupported, no drafting, self sufficiency, etc. Participants are so spread apart that it being a 'race' is pretty immaterial.)
AUK is a big bucket of discrepancies and exemptions. People DIY up Vatternrundan and that's pretty much a race. Anyway.
