Plays 66.6% of the time against player A, who averages 15 minutes (25%)
Plays 33.3% of the time against player B, who averages 30 minutes (50%)
(.666*.25) + (.333*.50) *100% = 33.3% QoC TOI%.
This is based on the logic that the best players play the most ice time. Your interpretation (30% means 30% of his ice time is spent playing against 'top competition) leaves 'top competition' without any real definition. Again, not based on any fact, but it makes much more sense in my eyes. It's an iffy stat for me based on how close the numbers are in comparison to Quality of Competition stats that are possession-based.

That could be true. I tried to confirm/deny by trying to get a firm definition on TOI% (as with QoT TOI% it is the percentage of time played with that player, thus I applied the TOI% in QoC as the percentage of time played against whatever the arbitrary cut-off for top QoC is) so you could be right.
