         I believe if you check your formula for scrappy you will find it will
play rated games if you are within 400 rating points at a variety of time
controls but will only play 5 0 unrated.  Since I am a bit more than 400 rating
points lower than scrappy I can only play unrated 5 0 games.

          Perhaps you should save the logs for losses (at least for a while).
This shouldn't take much space if they are really few and far between.
