If you teach fundamentals it is not going to matter whether a kid is double teamed, they will know what to do with the ball or when to give it up.

I worked a tourny with some similar rules to what Teamball described. No full court defense except for under 1 minute in each half, no zone defense, etc.
Figuring out when a rebound is under control of one team and getting their opponents to clear the backcourt is not what I want to be watching for all day. However, that is easier than deciding if a team is playing proper defense in the midst of all the loose balls, fumbled dribbles, slow passes, and disorganized offenses.
I agree. Dumb rules to worry about. I understand some of the reasons for these rules, but for the most part wish they were not there.
