Very cool. Iirc, in those ancient ball games, it was really hard to get the ball through the hoop and if you did you won a lot of riches.

Actually, captain of the winning team got sacrificed and met the gods.

The captain maybe, but if someone actually made the ball go through the hole the game was stopped and that person was given all the wagered loot, and was also able to take things from the audience or whoever he wanted too.

Thing is, it was really difficult to make the shot. So a very rare occurrence.

Also the audience got really into betting, some of them lost it all, and some even gambled themselves into slavery.

Fun game!
