Someone here mentioned that CQC should have entryfee and the winner takes the prize. I am in favour for that. There should be at least 3 differenst skill levels like A, AA and most skilled pilots in AAA class. Secret rating value could direct cmdr's to right tournament regarding difficulty. I hope you get what I mean :)

I was the one to suggest it.

but there is no reason for secrecy. Just have different category tournaments.
for example:
Novice CQC Tournament: 10 000cr entryfee
Master CQC Tournament: 1 000 000cr entry fee
Elite CQC Tournament: 10 000 000cr entry fee

have the rewards scale with total number of players signed up. More pilots sign up for the tournament => Higher price for the winner. (Every thing should be tested and balanced to the in-game economy of course)

If you have the money you can enter. No need to have any limitations.
Obviously, having the money does not mean that you have the skill.

P.S.
Lower level Tournaments would be mainly about winning the price, therefore they would have a higher pay out rate for winning. (lets say 0.1x"number of commanders"x "entryfee" with minimum of 100x reward)

Where as higher category tournaments would be more about the prestige of winning one. (Elite tournaments reward would be between 1.2x- 5x of entryfee depending on the number of commanders+ other rewards like Gal Net article maybe some special paintjob etc.)

I feel that a set up like this would make it an interesting mechanic + a good money sink for commanders. and still feel rewarding

You don't have to imagine a lot to realize how much more interesting money maker cqc would be for commanders than endless conflict zones :)

I doubt the developers would ever agree to something like this. A required entry fee is just too much to ask, too many people would complain about it. It would be very frustrating if there was a connection issue or real life got in the way, forfeiting these entry fees. I would certainly be among those complaining! There are too many things to get in the way to make this more of a burden than a boon for most players. For tournaments however it could work, just not a requirement to play the actual mode (or earn money) at all!

However, a betting system would be nice. Something like how GTA Online does it, which is extremely simple - you can bet any amount of money for you winning - if you win first place you get double back what your bet was.

Read my posts again. I never said the basic CQC should be changed. All I was proposing is a way to use already made assets to create some additional gameplay and stories within the galaxy. And make CQC rank relevant in the main game as well.

I did, vermu said "Someone here mentioned that CQC should have entryfee and the winner takes the prize" and you talked about it more, without specifically saying that these tournaments are separate and/or optional.

This is why suggestions belong in the suggestion forum though, too confusing when you just lump it in with an existing thread.

Yes I agree I already made a separate suggestion thread for it when Brett said it was an interesting idea. Still, this is the place where we are discussing it and somebody called it out so i continued my train of thought.

P.S. Iknow the last post does not mention that I intended the tournaments as a separate thing. Thats why i asked you to "Read my post*s* again." Note the S.

Anyway, i dont expect any word from FD about it. They never discuss such proposals beyond acknowledging the initial idea.
