The court was delimited by two asymmetrical lateral bases, built with granite blocks with a south-north orientation; the east side has a slope formed by a clay armored structure where an engraving was located in a construction block that symbolizes a bundle of years, identified in this context as the toponym of the ancient city. Inside the court different types of offerings were located as well as the presence of human bone remains associated to vessels and ceramic sculpture where the representation of the Jaguar was recurrent.

A characteristic of the Ball Court is that it was built below the levels of occupation of the public squares to refer to the first level of the underworld, where the Sun made its nocturnal journey.

The toponym that was located in the court is illustrated on page 23 of the Matricula de Tributos de la Provincia de Cihuatlán, to which Xihuacan belonged after the Mexica conquest between 1497 and 1503.
