A timing play determines whether or not a run scores when the third out is not made on a force play or by the batter being retired before reaching fist base safely. For example, there's a runner on third base with two outs. Batter gets a base hit but is out trying to stretch it into a double. Assuming the runner from third crossed home plate before the batter-runner was put out at second base, the run would count because he scored before the third out was made. Clear?
