Folks...regarding the CFA...
In years past (quite a few ago) ALO's administered this test most often (and quite often at AF base gyms) and we had a list of "mins/maxs/average." Some years ago, USAFA determined that it was more efficient to allow coaches, etc., to administer the CFA. That was a HUGE bonus as ALO's and candidates really had difficulty at times finding a great place for the test.
Also around that time, USAFA stopped publishing a "min" score. I was not privy to their reasons why but I think I can "guess" a bit.
If I posted a minimum of "X" in an event...and I had a stellar candidate, has everything I want (I'm now the admissions boss) and the ONLY "mark against" is an "X" in one event, is it smart for me to say "too bad, so sad?" Can't (insert name of service academy here) train this individual in this one area to improve whereas perhaps their school/gym just isn't getting it done? I have letters from ALO's, teachers, coaches, etc., attesting to the individuals efforts...just hasn't gotten there yet.
So I think USAFA doesn't post a "minimum" intentionally. It gives them the option to choose. That's not to say "don't worry if your CFA is abysmal..." you must be practicing and bettering yourself.
But trying to "second guess" the folks in admissions will only give you an ulcer. I can't tell you what they require...and I've been doing this for 19 years!
If you are a competitive candidate and USAFA/ANY SA is interested in seeing you compete to the end AND your CFA is, in THEIR opinion low, they can request that you retake it. I have had several candidates over the years call me and say "Col Steve...I just got this message...is it good or ???"
My answer is always: "If the academy is asking you to redo something, they're interested in you! DO IT!!!"
