HAMPSTEAD — In the Semi-Final round of playoffs, last place Century Copiers upset 1st place RAM Printing in one of the highest scoring games of the year 71-61. Fifth place United Business Machines (UBM) upset 2nd place Small World Wireless in triple overtime 39-37. That sets up the final game next week between Century Copiers and UBM. My prediction is UBM by 10.
