For me TTRR traditionally was played with water at the bottom, and players could plop if they fail. Also, Big RR has swoosh and Fly parts that TTRR doesn't have. I understand that BigBilly's maps are mostly made in Big Rope Race Generator (BRRG) for this scheme, so the swoosh and the fly don't apply so much for maps made by this program. I do imagine maps being handmade for this scheme like this, though: playing Time Trial with those classic obstacles and trick designs of the Big RR maps.
Another argument for my point of view: playing turn based rope race on a TTRR map and playing Time Trial on a big rope race map are very different ways of roping. So, in my opinion the map matters more than the timer-style. Of course that Time Trial and turn based RR have differences on the gameplay themselves, but I think the map affects more the way you rope.
That being said, Time Trial Big Rope Race still makes more sense to me than Big Time Trial Rope Race. Afterall the time playing the trial is not that big. The map is big, not the time.
Edit: next step is to create Time Trial Tower Rope Race. Because Tower Rope Race maps are different and the gameplay is different from BRR. It would be a mini tower map with those freaking crazy parts of Tower maps. That would be a cool scheme idea.
Would you say Time Trial Tower is an upscaled version of TTRR? Tower Time Trial Rope Race would sound as playing TTRR maps vertically, while Time Trial Tower Rope Race (or Time Trial Tower) sounds playing a Tower map in Time Trial format.
Edit 2: Don't forget that the scheme Time Trial Trick Race exists and it is not called Trick Time Trial Rope Race, because it's not like TTRR maps being played with colored lines sections for tricks, it's like short Trick Race maps that are played in Time Trial format.
Edit 3: now I'm thinking in Time Trial Surf Race (and not Surf Time Trial Rope Race), in Time Trial Checkpoint Rope Race (and not Checkpoint Time Trial Rope Race), in Time Trial Cannon Rope Race (and not Cannon Time Trial Rope Race) and all the other Rope Race variants being played in Time Trial format.
Time trial is a variation detail, the map and the rules of a scheme are way more important than if they are played as turn based or time trial. Of course that Time Trial is always better for fairness than turn based mode.
Edit 4: and now think in all other races in Time Trial format: Time Trial Boom Race (Boom Time Trial Race would be weird), Time Trial Bungee Race, Time Trial Driver (exists already, but played only as a challenge), Time Trial Boom for Weapons, Time Trial Drive for Weapons, Time Trial Drill Racer, Time Trial Super Sheep Race (Super Sheep Time Trial Race would be strange), Time Trial Wormopoly Party, etc.
