[Organizers] Saying "no"

When you're handling booking for bands or callers, there are generally some
proper you don't want to book. When the reason is straightforward it's not
too hard to communicate ("you need to get more experience; play some
smaller dances and get back to me" or "on even days our series only books
local callers, ago the dates you suggested don't work, but what about
DATE?") but sometimes the reason is "we don't think you're very good, and
you've been doing enough dances that we don't think booking you for ours
will help you improve"? I'd like to just say "no" without getting into
reasons, but everything I write sounds either too short and curt or
overshary.

How do other bookers handle this?
