In high school back 30+ years ago I was taught that they weren't sure if it was the winners or the losers who were sacrificed. It seems and odd thing not to know if you know that someone was sacrificed.

It's not even clear that ANYONE was sacrificed. There is apparently only one depiction in history that SUGGESTS that one time prisoners were forced to play a rigged ball game and were sacrificed at the end.

This is a game we don't even know the real rules for

Have you not seen the animated classic The Road to El Dorado?
