You need to beat yourself up about it a little because this was on you. Bad rules application combined with poor game management to cause enough ejections to equal a forfeit.

We all make mistakes. So you need to go on and learn from them.

So ask youself..
What could you do better next time to make sure this doesnt happen?

This mistake doesnt make you a bad umpire. Learning from this is what will separate you from the bad umpires.
