From the time a bull enters the ring until it is dragged out dead is usually about 20 minutes. Once a matador begins his faena - the artistic cape work preparng for the kill - the matador has 10 minutes tp complete the job. At 10 minutes a Trumpet blast - aviso - is sounded as a warning. A second trumpet followed by a third at 15 minutes signals the matador to leave the ring and the bull is then led out of the ring and killed in the pens. This is an ultimate disgrace for a matador. Even a single aviso is a mark against the matador.
