Too often in automated tournaments (especially in the monthly automated tournament), matches occur when one member of either side of the team error 7's, and it immediately becomes an absolutely stupid match.

There should be an option to restart an automated tournament match - that is, both teams are allowed a total of one restart, and if a restart is requested by a team no later than 30 seconds into the match, the match will restart, and both teams will be allowed 1:30 to reform and re-enter. This fixes a lot of problems of people erroring out of matches, and just adds 2:00 to an AT match.

how would this be implemented, sure its a good idea, but what if on the second go, the other team has a member error out

No time, and it's actually unfair. When a team is about to win someone can error, or even fake it. And then the match would have to start over, and the other team could win. It's just unfair.

Please note he said restart up to 30 seconds into match. This makes sure its just for the fail to loads. 30 seconds into a match doesn't allow for much of anything scouting wise, especially with only a minute thirty to reform and go in again. I would much appreciate something like this.

You only get 30 seconds to request a match restart.

I can understand the reasoning and am in favour of a some type of system however.... what of loading and seeing peoples char names.... you could (in theory) change your build in that 1:30 minutes and change the outcome quite significantly.

Just a point so maybe change the idea slightly or think of a way to get around it?

Sorry didnt read the 30s thing that clearly. Still unfair though. I think you should only be able to request it in the first 10 seconds. And not be able to change builds.
