The match gets its own board, and it names what is across the net

A second plate, drawn rather than tinted (assets/_board.py — _regen.py cannot
do this job: it keys magenta, crops to ink and rescales figures to a common
height, and a scoreboard is a full-bleed rectangle with no figure in it). The
club's bottle-green board is the club's; the match is played on one nobody has
cleaned in a long time, and the ink changes with it — a green 'dim' over dried
blood reads as a printing fault.

Two column changes go with it: the name slot says KEEPER / JUDGE / CHAMPION
instead of THEM (eight characters, `short` on the ladder rows), and the SETS
column is gone in the match, where it was a permanent 0 — the bar under the
board already carries that mode's progress.
