From the school/league's perspective, I can understand why they wouldn't want to pay full cost for a single official.
And the 150% fee for one official keeps schools, especially middle schools, and freshman programs, from asking for only one assigned official to save costs. For the extra 50% they might as well go with two officials, as God intended (in Connecticut, "The Land That Time Forgot").
