The Copán ball game is one of the largest in the region, measuring 29 meters long and 7 meters wide. The various rules may have varied. In Copán, the game consisted of keeping a heavy rubber ball in perpetual motion, bouncing it off the sides of the field with elbows and legs. The goal was to reach the center of the field. It was a violent and religious game, and some players would lose their lives. The losers served as offerings to the gods (or the winners, depending on who interpreted the symbols).
