form of the past tense
Is there any difference in the meaning between the following two sentences?
I didn't play smart enough, so that is why I ended up being at the bottom four or
I wasn't playing smart enough, so that is why I ended up being at the bottom four.
Since an English is not my native langauge, sometimes I am in dilemma as to which form of the past tense I should use.
Any help is greately appreciated.

I see no difference besides the fact that using the first sentence you relate to a complete action which is underlined by didn't instead using the second sentence your action is described as still in process.
