    Is Kirby really a “notable” player? :)

    Hello, I’m planning on taking a trip to the Canterbury Park Event and I wanted to inquire about weather I am required to have a soc. sec. card with me or if a valid id card is enough? (as I can’t seem to locate my soc. sec. card) I play tournaments in my area and an I.d is sufficent documentation but I must fill out a form and provide my soc. sec. number on the form when I cash. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank You! Good Luck to all!
