Not There means "this link should work, but it didn't work. Need to cross check it with another source, but it may not turn up."

Notes: Theoretically, these should've been airing the same matches from the same week, but it sure doesn't look that way. There may be a major time shift for one of them that I'm not picking up, but I can't figure it out.
