"Probably the best practice would be to let the athlete drop the bar to the chest and decide for himself what constitutes a non-bounced bar, then have the judges rule on it at the completion of the lift. No one claps at the bottom of a squat for depth, so why at the bottom of a bench press?"
The IPF already tried this for a few years. It did not work, Benches looked more like touch n go presses rather than a typical paused bench. Also, judges as they so often do, interpted the rule differently and caused even more dicrepencies.
