In Response To: of course I would agree with someone named Jimmy (jray)

NO, that is not what I am saying. I am saying if the bar dips--goes down, I will red light the lift.uneven extension does not mean the bar dips or goes down. At times, when you stop the high side and try to catch up with the low side, the bar will drop slightly on the high side, that I red light. Jimmy is saying it won't dip. I say it can and does at times. Since Jimmy has not measured every uneven extension of a bar, he can not be sure that it does not dip at times with some lifters. So when the bar is ascending and there is a slight or big or something in between, dip I will red light it. And that is following the rules as written. Referees are getting slammed for making up their own rules and now they are being slammed for following the rulebook. Well, people, you can not have it both ways. Yes, referees do make mistakes, I have.

PS: Jimmy, we do not make or change the rules, all of the countries belonging to the IPF do that every two years.
