Generally speaking: No.
There have been non-sub tournaments, but not more than once in a couple of years.
You can join clubs which offer tourneys for non-subs. But you will still be limited to six games in parallel.

ok thx. First wanna hang out here before I sign up

If you join a club - nonsubs can join clubs - and just play against other club members, there's a club player table (ladder) you can climb by winning games. That might keep you happy until you get addicted and six games is no longer enough. 🙂

I'm a subscriber. Rated at 1134. I tried to enter a tournament for 0-1149 players and it tells me I can't join because my rating is too high! Why?

Your current Tournament Entry Rating (shown at the bottom of your profile page stats) is 1184. It's a method of smoothing the rating ups and downs just for tournaments. Your opponents run on the same calculated TER, so it's a fair way of keeping similar-level opponents together.
