Ernst Hemingay described in detail (“Death In The Afternoon”) the preliminaries of bullfights. One of the most important is the random raw ( El Sorteo)
In a traditional bullfight three bullfighters have to bullfight six bulls. It means that two bulls correspond to each Matador. How do they decide which two bulls will be killed by each bullfighter? This is decided by a random draw
The morning of the day on which the bullfight is held, representatives of the three Matadores, go to the bullfighting ring in order to examine the bulls and attend later the random draw that will decide which bulls will be fight by each bullfighter. Bullfighters always desire to fight a good bull, a bull not too big and strong, without too large horns and high neck and with good sight so that it can react to colors and movement..
