Height Testing:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gksYvQr5Q5sAckibdhcPcihK-Kqq9vapb8hWrvpD4bU/edit#gid=0

Method:
/lgbt/ was chosen as the basis for the test, the team was setup as shown in the google sheet.
/lit/ was base copied from /lgbt/ players and had tactics set to match /lgbt/.
Each Team played 5 games at home and 5 games away.
Baseline Testing: All Players set to 205cm height, and 99 in all stats.
Initial Tests: All Stats 99, Heights Adjusted as Listed.
Height Abuse Tests: Stats Set to current /merit/ system (GGSS, Stat nerfs as listed on the Rules page), Heights adjusted as listed.
Deviation from average of 3-3-4 taken as an advantage.

Results:
(Height, W-L-D, GFA) 205-205 (99): 4-3-3 (0); 0.9-0.6
205-195 (99): 3-4-3 (0); 1.2-1.1
205-185 (99): 7-0-3 (3); 2.5-0.8
205-175 (99): 7-2-1 (3); 3.1-1.0
Clear Advantage appears at 20cm difference, in both deviation from average, and goals scored.

205-205 (GGSS): 2-4-4 (1); 1.0-1.8
205-195 (GGSS): 5-2-3 (1); 2.1-1.0
205-185 (GGSS): 5-1-4 (2); 2.1-1.4
205-175 (GGSS): 9-1-0 (5); 3.6-0.9
Advantage is lessened at 205-185, but worse at 175 due to weaker defenders. Goals Scored is close to all 99 stats

189-175 (GGSS): 8-0-2 (4); 3.3-1.3
Advantage reappears once stat nerfs are removed. 15cm is an advantage.

Conclusion:
Attackers and Defenders with a 15cm height advantage over opponents are more likely to win headers and crosses than otherwise, giving a 2 goal per game advantage similar teams. This translates into more wins on average for Height Abusing teams.

Goalie Sperging:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LiWJlyToo8U5CS2Dss_TsLmdqR__GWRNlV4Za8giqro/edit#gid=0

Aggregate of all Goalies from Winter 2017 to Summer 2017. These results are then averaged out to see how heights affected goalies.
Results:
Data Sorted by Height Tiers:

Height	Number	Average Games Played	Average Shots	Average Saves	Average Goals Against	Average Efficiency	Average Goals Per Game
174-180	12	1.3	5.2	2.9	2.4	62.6	1.7
184-189	87	3.5	15.3	9.3	5.4	65	1.7
190-199	21	3.4	14.6	7.8	5.2	54.3	1.8
200-205	6	5.3	21.8	13.8	7.1	62.3	1.4

Most Goalies in the 4cc are 189cm tall. Goalies from 174-199 had about the same allowed Goals Per Game, of 1.7. 200+ Goals seem to allow fewer goals per game, but had more total goals against, meaning they played in more games on average. 200+ goals had the same efficiency as 180 goalies.

Data Sorted by Games Played:

Games Played	Number of Goalies	Average Goals Against	Average Shots	Average Saves	Average Efficiency	Average Goals Per Game	Average Shots Per Game	Average Saves Per Game	Efficiency Per Game
3	24	5.6	14.6	7.6	51.1	1.86	4.9	2.5	52.1
4	11	5.2	16.2	10.1	64.6	1.29	4	2.5	62.4
5	12	7.9	24.3	16	63	1.58	4.9	3.1	63.9
6	5	8.8	23.2	12.8	49.2	1.47	3.9	2.1	55.1
7	9	9.1	28.3	18	63.8	1.3	4	2.6	63.5
8-14	7	14	38.3	23.6	61.6	1.4	3.9	2.4	61.7

Over more games played goals tend towards 60% Efficiency, and an average of about 4 Saves per game and 1.4 Goals Allowed Per Game.

Conclusion:
Height has little effect on Goalies in the 4cc. All goalies tend towards 60% efficiency, and about 2 goals per game.
