there's no way of knowing.
it entirely depends on the level of competition in your area.
for instance where I live the multiply competition is INTENSE. there's diablo barbell in Concord and Super Training Gym both are big multiply gyms and they're within two hours of my house.
the single ply competition locally is somewhat less as the strongest guys are lifting multiply, but there's still a lot of lifters in my area.
meets average like 40-50 lifters. if there's less competition in your area your numbers won't need to be so high.
but here's something I came up with at the gym today while discussing the plethora of threads on this site amounting to "what should I lift to be good before I compete";
Every day you decide to put off competing, the numbers you want to get to go up.
meaning that every time you put off competing everyone else is getting stronger than you, and if they're serious about competing or they train with a team, they're getting stronger faster than you are, and you'll never catch up.
so compete, you have absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain.*Mods/CS will not, nor can they change your username, so don't ask*

people have to actually put up the numbers they claim in front of dozens of people, have it be passed by a judge, perform all 3 lifts in a few hours, compete against other people, cut weight, etc. oh, and the interwebs will bash you no matter what you do when you do compete, despite most, if not all haters are non-competitors.
