I have heard (rumor, not experience, don't know if it's true but have my suspicions) of instructors for other games only providing training to those that have pre-purchased the "official" rules or pre-paid for attendance. All done outside the rec center and prior to arrival so they can claim that no money changing hands. IF THIS IS TRUE I hope these "training sessions" are shut down too.
Tried and failed. Taking money in exchange for a service is not allowed.
