Trefferliste

Trefferliste is a German term that denotes a list of hits, successes, or results, typically presented in ranked order. The word combines Treffer (hit, success, occurrence) with Liste (list) and is used across different domains to indicate a compilation where items are sorted according to a criterion such as quantity, frequency, score, or relevance.

In sports, a Trefferliste refers to a leaderboard of players or teams based on the number of Treffer (goals or successful hits). In football, the more common term for top scorers is Torschützenliste or Torjägerliste, but older or informal contexts may still use Trefferliste to describe goal tallies or strike rates. In other sports, such as hockey or basketball, a Trefferliste can similarly track top scorers or most frequent successful plays. The exact criterion for ranking can vary, including total goals, goals per game, or other performance measures.

In information retrieval and media, Trefferliste is used to describe the list of search results or hits returned for a query. Such lists are typically ordered by relevance, date, or popularity, and are presented to users as the main output of a search or filtering process.

Other uses exist in general statistics or news media, where a Trefferliste may catalog top-performing items, events, or products. In certain contexts, the term can also refer to a list of targeted persons or objects, though this usage is more sensitive and context-dependent.
