Most players will reach a deal with their club before a hearing is needed, but if a deal is not reached, an independent arbitrator will allow each side to make their case before deciding which of the two figures exchanged the player should receive in 2010.
Only three players made it to a hearing last year.
(Editor's Note: * -- indicates player has agreed to a deal with his club.)
