    Wasn’t the _winning_ team the one that was sacrificed?

    The point being that it was a great honour to serve the people in that way.

      No, I believe it was the losers that were sacrificed. I may be wrong, but that’s what I remember learning all those hundreds of years ago.

        It was the winners, but not in service to the people. It was a service to the gods (I don’t remember which ones specifically, name-wise).

        If I may repeat myself from the previous page:
        The exact rules of the so-called Mesoamerican ballgame or ollamalizti are unknown. In fact, there’s probably more than one set of rules, since it was played by many cultures since around 1400 BCE. There are however known instances of captives being sacrificed after losing a rigged game of court ball.
        Additionally, and this goes out to Paul, tlachtli wasn’t the name of the game, but the court on which it was played.

        You’ve been a student for a very VERY long time, apparently. O_o
