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
- longest winless streak: 31 games (14 August 1965 – 21 May 1966)
- most home defeats in a season: 12
- most consecutive home losses: 8 games (28 August 1965 – 8 December 1965), tied by Hansa Rostock in 2004–05
- most consecutive losses: 10 matches, tied by Arminia Bielefeld in 1999–2000, whose fans began to derisively chant "Tasmania Bielefeld!" during the record tying match
- 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
- until 1993, most minutes played without scoring a goal: 831 minutes (2 October 1965 – 11 December 1965), since surpassed by 1. FC Saarbrücken and 1. FC Köln
- smallest ever crowd at a Bundesliga game: 827 (15 January 1966 against Borussia Mönchengladbach) after crowds of 81,500 at their first home game and 70,000 at their second

Famous quotes containing the words dubious and/or distinctions:
“The more dubious and uncertain an instrument violence has become in international relations, the more it has gained in reputation and appeal in domestic affairs, specifically in the matter of revolution.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Television ... helps blur the distinction between framed and unframed reality. Whereas going to the movies necessarily entails leaving one’s ordinary surroundings, soap operas are in fact spatially inseparable from the rest of one’s life. In homes where television is on most of the time, they are also temporally integrated into one’s “real” life and, unlike the experience of going out in the evening to see a show, may not even interrupt its regular flow.”
—Eviatar Zerubavel, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life, ch. 5, University of Chicago Press (1991)
