How far can you go without joining a league?

I've decided that I really don't want to join a league... I want to play on my own time, when it's convenient for me. Are there any tournaments I can enter? I'm by no means ready to do that, but what if one day I want to see how far I can go... is there a path for the 'independant' player?
