I imagine some typical configurations, like a bracket tournament system, would already be near-optimum in this sense. Practically speaking, though, I think that the ability of the competitors to endure multiple games in a row just becomes another trait that they train and are selected for, a sort of mental endurance. (Or regular endurance, depending on the contest.)
If you wonder what practical use such an algorithm might have, just ask!
