It was not played just for sport, but also for religious reasons. In this game you must get a five pound rubber ball into a stone ring twenty feet up off of the ground. You must only use your hips, waist, wrists, chest, and elbows to bounce it off of the stone wall into the hole. The winners were treated like heroes, but the losing team had a different fate.
