We've added results from three events:
* Edgebana 2017 in Scotland, organized by The Institute For Historical Arts
* Heffac Event 2017 in The Netherlands
* Optimus Bucharest HEMA Open - Longsword - Autumn 2017 in Romania, organized by HEMA - Societas Milites Getae

All three events ran longsword tournaments and Edgebana also ran a singlestick tournament.

*Significant changes in Singlestick*

Singlestick is fairly volatile, so there's been a lot of changes there.

* Benjamin Hamilton of The AHA climbs to 1st place!
* Michel Rensen of Zwaard & Steen climbs 20 places to 12th!
* A bunch of people debut in the top 100.
