I pushed that way back since no one has been asking for it. I still plan on having a "lurk" option eventually, though.

can you put it up front if possible?

This is also a benefit of having tournament "tickets" rather than passwords. If a tournament is password protected (like our monthly championship) then other players cant watch the action.

More likely I'd just add a tournament field indicating if the password only applied to the Register button. If so then anyone could watch but only those that knew the password could register and play.

The point of putting a password on a particular table (or tournament) is so that it can be reserved as a private table. Then a group of friends can play together without being bothered by anyone else. This is completely separate from logging into the site.
