| Actions like the exhibition of choreographies, the use of {{wp|flare|flares}}, wave and display of flags and banners, and coordination of chants accompany by bass drums, flutes, and trumpets, all of which are designed to create an atmosphere which encourages their own team and intimidates opposing players and supporters. They also look to attack rival fans, especially river Chokaw Ch'ajomob, which lead to fights with them generally before or after matches. Many associations of Chokaw Ch'ajomob style themselves as protectors of their team's supporters against rival attacks.

| Participants in a "Blood-Scattering" often select locations away from stadiums to avoid arrest by the police, but conflict can also erupt spontaneously inside the stadium or in the surrounding streets. The religious fervor and mysticism surrounding [[Pitz]] games have led to rivalries between Pitz teams to turn into religious quasi-wars, which have led in the most extreme cases to the death of Drop-scatterers, Police officers, and bystanders alike. {{wp|Riot police}} may have to intervene some of the most violent Blood-Scatterings.

| | | Following the devastation caused by the repression of the ill-fated [[Belfro-Mutulese war of 1911|Hachawaya]], many {{wp|Hachahatak}} migrated to the [[Mutul]] or other countries. New districts appeared in the [[Yajawil of Ekab]] filled with these refugees, who kept contact with their relatives that had remained on the other side of the Nor-Oxi Strait. |
| Those who have the time and money may follow their chosen team to away matches and engage in Chokaw Ch'ajom behaviors against the Drop-scatterers of the Home team. While national-level groups do not exist, individual Chokaw Ch'ajom may use a collective name indicating their allegiance.

| ==Behaviour==
| |
| | |
| Chokaw Ch'ajomob practice a wide range of behaviors both during and outside of a match. During a match, they often exhibit complex choregraphies accompanied with music to welcome their team and scare their opponents. They vocally support their players through songs and prayers while displaying flags and banners, and may throw insults or spit at supporters of the opposing team. Throwing objects onto the Court is considered by Chokaw Ch'ajomob to be a grave offense and a profanation and rival gangs have been known to spontaneously form temporary truces to punish such acts, even if committed by people from their own gang.
| |
| | |
| Before or after the match, Chokaw Ch'ajomob form processions in the city's streets, singing and playing music while displaying their banners and showing their team's colors. They'll then seek out conflicts with the opposing team's supporters, leading to fightings either unarmed or with sport bats, bottles, rocks, Rebar, knives, machetes, firearms and, famously, barbed wires. They may also spray graffitis mixing sport and religious imageries to promote their teams.
| |
| | |
| Drop-scatterers do not make a distinction between their daily life and their "supporter" life. They consider their activities to be part of a religious way-of-life. They collect merchandises of their teams and built altars to their favorite players whom they consider to be gods. They tattoo on their bodies the faces of said players and the imagery of their team, merged with religious scenes such as representations of {{wp|Xibalba}} and its {{wp|Maya death gods|gods}} or of the {{wp|Maya jaguar gods|Night Sun}}. They proudly display their tattoos and promote their way of life, making them easily spotted even outside of matches by the police or bystanders.

History
After 1916
Following the devastation caused by the repression of the ill-fated Hachawaya, many Hachahatak migrated to the Mutul or other countries. New districts appeared in the Yajawil of Ekab filled with these refugees, who kept contact with their relatives that had remained on the other side of the Nor-Oxi Strait.
