Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Jackie Paisley those sources are MuscleMemory and Wikipedia. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.

Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 1985 to 1991.
One 1989 row is labelled as a bikini division, which did not exist at the time and is a mislabel in our source data.
Win rate here is first-place finishes as a share of all 9 professional contest results. It is published only where a career holds at least five, because below that a single placing moves the figure by twenty points or more.
