I've run an auction league for almost 15 years now and am curious as to how anybody else may handle keeper price year over year. For example it is super common in Snake leagues that every year you keep a player they go up 1/2 rounds from the prior years draft position each year kept etc. How do you all handle this for Auction leagues?

For the last 10 years or so we've used a ridiculous formula: add $6 or add $1/3 of the prior year's value, whichever is greater. If that value comes out to a decimal, we round up no matter what. For example, a $1 player is $7 the next year ($6 increase), whereas a $33 would be $44 (1/3 increase) the next year. I don't even know where this came from, I think somebody else used it in one of their leagues. This has worked generally well but can be confusing at times and I'm curious if anybody else uses a set increase (ex: $10 increase per year) or any other creative ways to address the cost increase for keepers.

New dad of a 3-4 week old, and for the last week our son will not sleep whatsoever unless my wife or I are holding him, and putting him down he wakes up and cries within the first few minutes if we are even able to get him down without waking him. I'm wondering if any of you all experienced something similar, and if contact naps during the day make sleeping at night harder? For the vast majority of nights he sleeps from 9-midnight waking for a bottle and then again from 1-4/5am. 3 of the last 4 nights he's been noticeably fussier at night and it's been harder to get him to sleep in his bassinet. I am a little worried that contact napping during the day might make things more difficult, but have also read that a 3.5 week old is too young for that to happen. Have any of you dealt with something similar?

edit: Additionally, do you wake your newborn at all to prevent them mixing up days/nights? I've read wake after 2 hours, i've also read "never wake a sleeping baby" - so much conflicting info out there.
