Welcome Ryan,
Dunno mate, sorry. Have you asked the AFCO, they should be able to advise.
Found this link on the Paras though which is interesting:

It is a best effort. I don't think there is a set time, around 4 minutes is good (or so I've been told). The main thing is the running, a good time on your mile & a half. It is the first thing they compare.
I am at the RSC next Tuesday & Wednesday so if you have not left before then I should be able to give you a better idea.
