The standard number of arbitration years is three, but players in the top 22% can earn the Super Two Exception, which lets them enter arbitration a year early and get four total years.
In arbitration, a team must decide whether to tender or non-tender players by November 20th.
If they are tendered, they continue to arbitration; if they are non-tendered, they become free agents.
