For a fixed positive $ε$, we show the existence of a constant $C_ε$ with the following property: Given a $\pm1$-edge-labeling $c:E(K_n)\to \{ -1,1\}$ of the complete graph $K_n$ with $c(E(K_n))=0$, and a spanning forest $F$ of $K_n$ of maximum degree $Δ$, one can determine in polynomial time an isomorphic copy $F'$ of $F$ in $K_n$ with $|c(E(F'))|\leq \left(\frac{3}{4}+ε\right)Δ+C_ε.$ Our approach is based on the method of conditional expectation.
