Stupid tournament rules

Grade school tournament, with a "no zone defense" rule. Of course, no explanation as to what can and cannot be interpreted as a zone....
I'm handing in the ball on an inbound, the tournament host team is on defense, lined three across the lane (while the inbounding team is stacked up). Gosh. Doesn't LOOK like a man. Looks like a zone. Offended coach is screaming, "No zone! They are in a zone!" Well, he's got a point. My partner and I shrug and ask the hosting team's coach to take his boys out of the zone. "It's a dead ball! They can be there!" Sorry, coach. YOUR rules say no zone, doesn't say any exceptions. Ask them to man up. So after a little further discussion, he calls his boys over to the bench. "Come and stand here by me. That's what they want!" The other coach is yelling, "Really? Really?" So he's waiting for us to inbound with no defense in the paint. Play on. By the way, he's got a 17 point lead with three minutes left...

After the game, I went to find tournament management to tell them they need to straighten this clown out. Guess who it was? Assistant clown coach. SMH
