In my book, a competition based on MWC error total, while not uninteresting, corrupts (if slightly) the optimal strategy by rewarding bot-like plays even when they are not optimal. I also like luck-adjusted results better.

As Bob mentions, you should be wary that even luck-adjusted results don't take all of the pure luck out of the game. In all good logic it shouldn't be a legal problem, or a random-draw tennis tournaments would also have to be prohibited (and there the prize money is significantly higher).
