I'd recommend using about 20 consecutive games (and no handpicking of games). | ||

A comparative analysis of SQ scores for pros in different ladder regions is currently being conducted. So far we have collected data for the American and European servers (with interesting conclusions). We'd very much like to extend this analysis to include other ladder regions. If you have an account on the Korean, Chinese, or South East Asian servers, and you are interested in contributing, please PM me for more details. The data collection has been greatly streamlined compared to the analysis I conducted here, meaning it does not take a great amount of time. | ||

If you actually play a decent number of games on both a bronze league account and a master league account, it would be interesting to see how your SQ varies. I would say 20 consecutive 1v1 games (resource collection rate > 600) would be sufficient. It has been suggested that an easier opponent should result in a higher SQ. It would be interesting to put that to the test. Of course you could also do the reverse - have a bronze player play on a masters account - but I suspect there would be few willing volunteers for that project!  | ||

You can also create an Excel file and then open it in the app as long as you keep the following format: first row: date, i, u, sq and then following rows with the data. The sq column can be left empty and it will be calculated by the program on the file load. It is kind of a messy code and I've written it under linux, so if you find any major bugs, let me know. Here's a standalone executable with all the dependencies included. Just run sq.exe: http://www.mediafire.com/?t0d504rmt6ma0yc And if you're a developer or if you're suspicious to run random .exe files from the Internet here is the source code: http://www.mediafire.com/?3g9fkth38di21a6 However to run this one you're going to have Python installed on your system, as well as matplotlib and wx python libraries. | ||

I tried entering data, saving, exiting, then re-opening and loading, and it didn't seem to add the previous data.

If I were to say it in my words: Theoretically, if you're starting to get overmins while perfectly marcoing with the stuff you got, add more buildings. Buildings are an one time investment. So, in case your income stays at least the same, you'll be able to put future money into units. Else, you might know how much you can support 1 base. Just multiply that times the number of bases, while accounting for tech and upgrades. On a sidenote, Master League, I just had a game, 21 minutes, 79 workers created, 784 unspent to 2004 collection. Gave me an 102.8 SQ. I really had a good feeling that game. I average used to be slightly over 75 like a month ago. After conciously having the SQ in mind, the average of my last 10 games = 84.5. I'm feeling that I'm improving! | ||

In addition, I made an application to track your SQ automatically, a bit like the one posted above. However, if you're on 1920x1080, you can auto-track your SQ simply by taking a screen shot of your stats at the end of the game; no tabbing needed. The UI is shown below: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZxMu4.jpg) The reddit thread with all the info can be found here and the download can be found here | ||

One week ago, I was still Gold. My SQ from that period, averaged over 24 games is 63, which should put me inbetween platinum and diamond. I can't look at the history for season 2 anymore, but I hardly improved my macro lately. In Season 2 I was Silver, and if I had to estimate, my SQ would have been just below the plat level. (I checked unspent resources and income rate then, as well, just divided one by the other to get an estimate of how well I did). It's anecdotal, sure, but it does show that there is slightly more to getting better at the game than straight macro. | ||
