The National 24hr TT gets points though, so their own rules are a bit iffy.
You get points from the 24 for two reasons:
a) It's a nod to history as the 24 used to be the only way for Brits to qualify for PBP prior to Audax UK being set up.
b) About 15 years ago the numbers entering 24 were declining to the point that they might stop being put on. By allocating AUK points for the ride it got a fair number of extra AUKs interested in riding it. There's at least 20 each year usually.
Another way of putting it is that the rule that allows points for the 24 pre-dates the rule about no points for races.

Really? No way. /sarcasm
