If you are using the new Flash version:
Click on List all tournaments in the top left area of the screen, click on Free tournaments, then click on a tournament you like and register for it. If you don't have a partner you can invite people from the partnership desk. Does this help?

If you are using the old Windows version:
Click on Play bridge (or somehting like this) then Tournaments then Free tournaments then the same as above.

Unless it is an individual tournament you need a partner, which you can get on your own or by adding your name to a list of persons without partners and waiting to be invited (or invite someone from that list). Of course you need to do this in advance prior to the start of the tournament. After your name is on the list of players (or pairs) for a tournament, you'll be forcefully taken to the table at the beginning of the game. The only way to play in a tourney after it has begun is by adding your nick to the substitutes list, in which case you'll be invited by a Director to play for someone who retired from a tourney.
