Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=26462)

The correct answer choice is (A)

A Global question is made for the templates, and so you should immediately refer to the templates as you attack each answer choice.

Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. P could play L in the first game as proven by the following hypothetical from Template #1:

Answer choice (B): As shown by the two templates, either O or S always plays in the second game. Thus, P cannot play N in the second game, and this answer choice is incorrect.

Answer choice (C): The fourth rule specifies that O plays exactly one game, and that S plays two games, one just before O and one just after O. Hence, O and S can never play in a game together.

Answer choice (D): As shown by the two templates, either O or S always plays in the third game. Thus, P cannot play L in the third game, and this answer choice is incorrect.

Answer choice (E): The second rule indicates that L must play in the fourth game, and hence N cannot play S in the fourth game.
