How do you correctly measure uneven bars? Is it the height of the bar to the floor or to the top of the mat? And how do you measure distance? Parallel to the floor? Or at an angle from low bar to high bar?

Technically all of the above... You can drive yourself crazy over a tiny distance when you consider the angles of the bars. Most important is distance between bars followed closely by vertical height above the mat.
