That’s all well and good... but where? I can’t find coverage of this anywhere!

Here are the official results page:

I'm honestly a bit worried about his one. Paul had the ground game in place for this one...

As in Nevada, the only other one organizing is Paul. Anyway, you’ve oversimplified a little in your summary. The process is:
Jan 22 - delegates to the state convention are elected.
Feb 9 - primary is held, but unless some candidate get a majority this is strictly a beauty contest. If someone does get 51% on Feb 9, *then* they automatically get 20 of the state’s delegates to the national convention; if no one gets 51% then those delegates are uncommitted. This is different than other winner-take-all states where mere plurality will get you the delegates.
Feb 16 - state convention is held and delegates to the national convention are elected.

So as far as I can tell we won’t know for certain who won Louisiana until Feb 16, though I imagine they have a straw poll at the caucuses today which will give some indication of support for different candidates.
