Transcription: This ball court is located at Chichen Itza. Here, the Mayans played a ball game called Poketoke. In Poketoke, a game similar to soccer and basketball, players were only allowed to use their elbows, hips, and knees to hit a hard rubber ball through a stone hoop located 23 feet up on a wall. The game was fast and violent, and the winners received rich prizes while the losers were sacrificed. you
