You have to wonder, how did so many deities come to existance?
Imagine getting hit with that ball, eh? Oww..... What was the game about again? it's been years since I heard about it, surprised I still remember.
Oh, and Bran, no worries.
I can't remember what it's called, because I can never pronounce that stuff, but basically there's one hoop in the middle of the ball court and each team had to get the ball in the hoop using only their hips and feet. It's a lot like soccer, but one goal, and the losing team's captain got sacrificed to the gods.

There's a picture of one of the ball courts, if you look close at the right side, almost in the middle you can see the hoop.
