The ballcourt is situated in a large open area on the northern side of the Main Plaza. The entire construction consists of two stepped platforms about 2.40 m tall at their summits. The structures are located so that the short sides of the platform (perpendicular to the playing area) are oriented at 118-122 degrees east of north.
