Dubious Distinctions
As the worst team in Bundesliga history, SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin is the holder of a number of dubious records:
- 50th out of 50 in all-time Bundesliga standings
- fewest points collected in a season: 8 points under the old scoring method of two points for a win, 10 points under today's system that allows three points for a win
- fewest wins in a season: 2 (tied by Wuppertaler SV in 1974–1975)
- most defeats in a season: 28
- only Bundesliga team without an away win

- worst ever goals for-and-against: 15–108
- fewest ever goals for a team's leading scorer: 4 by Wulf-Ingo Usbeck
- biggest losing margin at home: 0–9 to Meidericher SV (26 March 1966); this record was almost tied when Bayer Leverkusen won at SSV Ulm 1846 9–1 in 2000, Leandro Fonseca scored for Ulm in injury time

Famous quotes containing the words dubious and/or distinctions:
“I sometimes wonder whether, in the still, sleepless hours of the night, the consciences of ... professional gossips do not stalk them. I myself believe in a final reckoning, when we shall be held accountable for our misdeeds. Do they? If so, they have cause to worry over many scoops that brought them a day’s dubious laurels and perhaps destroyed someone’s peace forever.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
