Thankfully it isn't one of our 2010 goals but all the same I was a bit put out to see that so far we are not among the 74 teams who have accumulated at least one 2010 Formula Boinc point. 
The closest we come to scoring is for Collatz where we are 9th for the year. Of course if Chess960 wasn't disqualified for being closed to new accounts we'd be able to boast at least 8 points.

Don't let it bring you down Willie. We wouldn't be TSBT if we all piled in on one project just to get a Formula Boinc point.... we're up there with the best of them on most projects and every now and again we can pull a fast one on the big boys which is always good for a bit of fun...

Problem is, we now are one of the big boys! And, as such, we should be keeping up 
Still, I can cope with the role of Stalwart Boinc All Rounders, undistracted by ephemera such as the FB competition or the Boincstats world cup.

All the stats seem to favour the big teams (even Boincstats World Cup which was supposed to allow for a little tactics and favour some of the lesser teams...).
The top three teams are the same all over and they are all concentrated on the same projects MilikyWay, Collatz and Seti with a little Aqua and GPUGRID thrown in for good measure.
TSBT's pioneering work with GPUs last year paid off but by now everyone's doing it so, at the moment, you are quite right - it's numbers that count...
... The good news is that there is still them as is bigger'n us so we can still have fun!
