I'm very excited about my first trip to Nationals.  I do have a few "rookie" questions. 

1) In layman terms, what is the difference between the D/S and Teams patterns?  Which is longer/shorter?  What's the typical angle and ball for each?

2) Is it really necessary to bring 10+ ball arsenal?  I normally just bring 5 + spare for local tournaments covering each ball reaction: traction, continuous, skid/flip, etc.

3) Where are some good eating places?

4) Any other advice for a Nationals rookie?  I plan on just enjoying the atmosphere and experience.

OnCenter had a nice setup, but as far as quality of stuff to do, Syracuse is/was the pits. C'mon Vegas!

Agreed, I didn’t enjoy Syracuse. We ended up at that casino outside town every night, and I barely gamble. I just didn’t have anything better to do.

Haha, I had a nice poker session at Turning Stone that ended up making the entire USBC trip a net positive so I can't complain. That was definitely the highlight for me. .....besides the pregnant junkie prostitute that had to be escorted off of the hotel property just as I was checking in. I thought I wouldn't see much of that since moving away from Vegas, wrong!

another one for the memoirs haaaaahaha
