Pausing Timed Games (Such as in ChessBoxing)

Hello, I have a question if pausing a timed game during a private match on Chess.com is possible.

The reason I would like to do this is I want to host a "ChessBoxing" type of event except instead of boxing, players would be competing in an RTS (StarCraft2).  I would like to be able to have a 5-10 minute timed chess game, that can be paused after 2-3 minutes, then competitors play each other in the RTS, and then after 3-4 minutes the game is paused and time is resumed on the Chessboard. Play alternates like this until a victory is achieved in either game. 

If anyone can think of some possible ways to make a format like this work, please let me know. Thanks

A longer game wouldn't be suitable for what I'm trying to accomplish. Because play needs to be able to be paused abruptly without one player getting penalized because it was paused on their turn

That's not possible.

Hey there, TheRealChessPope!

Remember having played a game with me... Nice to meet you again

Actually, I'm sorry but I don't have much ideas regarding your question... I don't think this may be possible but things may change soon. So let's see!
