I'ts not a strange rule. We determine a player's location by the parts touching the floor, not what's in the air. It makes it simpler.

FWIW, I agree that if you need frame-by-frame replay to determine his front foot lifted first, it's a two. Hair isn't meant to be split that finely.

Agreed. If, however, the front foot is clearly lifted first, it can only be a 3.
