I think there are ways to encourage participation from outside of elite groups without something so complicated.
Changing up the timer mechanics is one example.

The purpose of PC in my opinion is to further the link between DUST and EVE, it is suppose to add meaning to the battles..."real consequences" and deepen the immersion into New Eden.
However, I like your premise and think that it could be implemented if and when we get Battle Arenas. Battle Arenas will be the place for competitive corp matches, corp rankings, player ranking based on matches and not stats. Battle Arenas will add a lot to this game and your system of tiers for corps could be included...again, just not in PC.
Problem is that if they connect Dust to Eve any further with the numbers involved in PC you'll have Eve players freaking out about the situation.
Goons buy DNS corps = game over

Changing up the timer mechanics is one example. Thor, wish I could agree but there are still new players joining this game. I played with 2 guys last night. One has been playing for 5 days and the other for almost 2 weeks. They had all kinds of questions about PC and proclaimed that is what they wanted to do. I let them know how bad it was though LOL...in the best possible way and how even when 16 good players that had 5 mil SP each they would be annihilated. They gasped when i told them my SP and I'm not even all that high. 40 million'ish. There has to be a tier of some sort. Match making is great for pubs and needs to be done. But for PC to survive outside of us 200 guys fighting each other, we have to get the lower SP guys involved.
But there are plenty of 20 and 30 million SP players that are unable to compete in the current environment. The biggest obstacle for that group of players are FC's. What I'm talking about doing would give FC's more reps. The number of battles would explode in comparison to what we have now.
