The game was called 'tlachtli'. They believed this to be a game that the gods would play. The Aztecs thought that sky was the court of the gods and the sun was the ball. The preists would watch the games of 'tlachtli' to predict the future. This game held an immense amount of religeous importance. Points were scored on the movements players would preform with the ball, the number of times eitherteam got it throughthe hoop, and possezsion of the ball. The players were rewarded with fame, prizes, and the spectator's capes. Source(s): The Aztec News Phillip Steele Candlewick Press Massachusatts
