Hi npant120,
While I wouldn't want to speak for Kelsey, based on her templates, your assessment looks correct to me.
Another way to think of it is using templates for each of the combinations of (H - L) and (L - H) along with the combinations of (H - T - V) and (V - T - H), although only the 3 combinations listed work. As you correctly pointed out under the (V - T - H) branch, L must be ahead of H.
While the reason that you gave about forcing S into 1 is one way of thinking about it, that isn't the most direct way I would think about it. Once you know that only H or L can be first (a key inference definitely worth showing on your main diagram), you immediately know that L is first under the (V - T - H) branch. With L first, it is obviously ahead of H since first is ahead of everyone by definition.
Yes, in another game you may have consider another template if (H - L) were possible under the (V - T - H) branch.
