They only coincided every 20 years, so maybe they're protecting the UAF of 2031 from the ACP version pinching their potential entrants. OTOH as I remember the UAF is ageing: a couple of years back the average age of committee members was 66, so it might no longer exist by then.
ETA come to that, the FFCT is flailing a bit in its old age, e.g. changing its name after several geological eons of existence. Mind you, every so often the FFC has a natter with the Ministry of Sport, Youth, Truth and Organic Yogurt and waltzes home with responsibility for cycle touring added to its remit, at which point the FFCT puts its false teeth in and hisses until it gets it back again, only slightly soiled.
