Differentials in Range of Motion
Why" For Time" is relative to the individual.

Power movement of individuals are fixed and different due to that individuals range of joint motion.Velocity is determined by the time taken to complete the movement through that individuals range of motion.
Training using methods that focus on decreasing the time in which the movement is produced by increasing the efficiency and or acceleration of the movement, increases power generation.
Therefore Timing a Work Out produces a reference point from which to determine increases in power output when compared to future attempts.

Why its not "just a Competition"

Due to the difference in Range of Motion as well as previous specialization, WODs should not be made intensely competitive unless weight divisions and standardized equipment and movement is specified. This would transfer the training into an event,somewhat defeating the purpose of a training format.
This is training for an Effect.

Incremental Progression

The focus is on individual improvement and progress through efficient movement.The time of others should be a motivator not a goal to be beaten.
Individual participation and exposure to the experience of the Work Out is the overall goal and from which the benefits will be apparent.
