Not sure what the standard is for self-answering but I'll accept this in the meantime and change it as appropriate.

<p>This is intended to be a canonical question regarding possible endings of the game.</p>

<p>For each question, assume a single proper strike was made, and note where an improper strike would change the game outcome (beyond an additional point for the opponent).</p>
