This version of basketball was the first. It was played with a rubber ball. Their goal was to get their ball into one of the goals, which were circles mounted up on the side of the playing court. Occasionally, decorative masks would be worn by the players. The losing team would then be sacrificed. Although, some evidence has shown that children have played this game for fun. Sometimes, they would not kill the losing team, but their was always some sort of blood sacrifice for religious reasons. Most of the time, it would be the ear or tongue. These games were played by the peasants for entertainment.
