The Forest team suffered two consecutive defeats in the league tournament. The most immediate effect was that their ranking fell.

When Twain used to play the Football Manager video game, there had been times when he had led the team to win in a row before. He thought since the team had a winning streak and ranked first, he would be many points ahead of the second place team.

He was quite surprised and thought that the computer had an unfair system.

Twain was now deeply aware that it was not a trick by the computer, but a fact of the football tournament.
