Once you check in, find a table where there's an opening and you can put your placard on the back of it to "claim" it.

I hate being in the main ballroom because I feel like the emotional ebbs and flows of every race are exacerbated being in there. So, I went to the auxiliary room in the back last year. No matter where you go, you can count on making friends and sharing in one of the greatest racing experiences you'll ever have.
I agree with Nick about the main room. I play from the race book instead. It is quite, you get your own TV, and don't get caught up in emotions.

If I would give one piece of advice to a first time player, it is to tune out everything. You will see prices come in and hear lots of cheering every race. Just block it out and play your own game. Set a goal and stick to it. And, most of all, have fun.
