BUT there is a contradiction. I was doing cornell notes and in my studies book it says that the LOSER of the match has to put their team captAin up for sacrifice.
some other facts are that the mayans only used their hips, knees, and elbows for this game to hit the ball into a ring that has been mounted at the top of the should i say; boundries.
