What surprised me the most was that protoss creates the least workers on average! I assumed it would be terran, since they have mules and protoss have chrono boost. Could it be that protoss expands the least, on average? Or that typically protoss loses the fewest probes?

T/Z training on uphill slopes has made them better than the race that got by for 8-9 months with 4gates and 6gates

It's explained by protoss being tras,h on average, compared to their equal ranked peers.
I'm protoss, we had it silly easy for a while, but now that T/Z are really putting the squeeze on us, it should help a lot!

Hats off to you good sir, for your great idea, and the hard work you put into implementing it.

I do find it somewhat strange that SQ doesn't seem to be affected by race. Just looking at the gameplay mechanics, it should be lower for Zerg and Protoss players, who will often need to pool resources in preparation for a macro cycle. Mayhaps it simply implies that Terran players are worse at macro?

I also have a reservation about only using U and I as data points. If you're gathering this data from replays, it should be possible to detect points in time where players are maxed, or close to maxed (and saving supply for something important), and account for that in the SQ. A less accurate method of doing this, would be to factor game length in. It is intuitive to me that an SQ of 90 over a 15 minute game is less impressive than the same SQ over a 50 minute game. Average income reflects game length to some extent, but this relationship tends to disappear past 20 minutes.

I actually think Majors macro is better. Major has better macro than idra, and would prob be in the low 90's. DRG has better macro than Idra (a lot better actually) and would be prob be close to 100.
