Let's try an analogy. You represent a league; I presume your league asks teams to register to play a season of softball. For the sake of this discussion, let's say your league charges $250 for a 10 game season. They have determined that price covers their costs for field rental, field prep, insurance, umpire expenses, whatever.

I have a team that meets all the criteria to play in your league. But my team only wants to play 3 games. And we don't want or need the field dragged and lined, nor do we need to pay for your league insurance, as we all have our own insurance. We'll bring our own umpires, too, so you don't have to protect the umpires, either. We could play in another league, but we want to play in your league, so you should feel honored. We are willing to pay for these 3 games, but we don't want or need your 10 game team registration.

What?? You won't make me a special deal at a special price for my team, just because what I want doesn't fit your business model at all, and leaves everyone else at a disadvantage?? Why?? I said I was willing to pay for 3 games!!
