Ball Court 1 has an overall length of 110 meters.
Unlike other Mesoamerican ball courts, Ball Court 1 does not have sloping slides.
Instead, like other ball courts in the Tequila Valleys region, the sides of the lateral platforms were straight.
Due to its length and lack of sloping sides, there are questions as to what style of the Mesoamerican ballgame that the Teuchitlán Culture would have played.
Regional variation existed across Mesoamerica from the time of contact and into the past.

Radiocarbon, ceramic, and excavation data indicate that Ball Court 1 was constructed between 160 and 100 BCE after the construction of Circle 1, but before the construction of Circle 2.
Ball Court 1 initially was constructed to a length of 60 meters and later expanded towards Circle 4.
It is possible that Ball Court 1’s expansion was to accommodate the later construction of Circle 4.
However, its initial construction length would not have resulted in a centered placement between Circles 1 and 2 making it an asymmetrical construction in an otherwise symmetrically focused site.
