Sorry friend..11% timeout means that 11% of your losses are due to not making a move within the games time limit. Many tournaments bar such competitors because 1) waiting the entire time limit lengthens the tournament and 2) it's neither fun or educational to play someone who doesn't finish games.

I can't join a tournament because my time out rating is 11%. What is this rating and how do I change it? Other than taking time off for a vacation, I have played all games on a daily basis.
There are 6 timeouts on your record.

All Games
| Total Games: | 57 |
| In Progress: | 4 |
| Timeouts: | 6 (11%) |
You have completed 57 games.
6 timeouts * 10 = 60
To lower your timeout ratio to 10% you only have to complete 3 more games.
60 - 57 games completed = 3 more games.
At 61 games completed without another timeout you will be under 10%.
