It might be possible if you had a function that represented your scoring over time and the probability of balancing the bridge over time. Your expected win % and coopertition % for a given length of balancing could then be calculated.
Of course, the formula would vary from regional-to-regional (teams score different amounts at each regional) and match-to-match (it is probably best to spend more time balancing against weaker opponents.) I would use scouting, experience, and common sense instead of a formula.
