Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Lora Ottenad those sources are MuscleMemory and NPC Contests.

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.
