Yes, I feel your pain.......   All we want to do.. is CRUNCH something....
At least it would be a competition then......

How often are the stats updated???? every hour??

I've been getting tasks consistently for the last 12 hrs.
 
Didn't fill up a bunker but I've been crunching since yesterday to get a running start.

I am still not getting any! lol

What does the BOINC log file say?
Have you checked your WCG preferences under "My Projects" to see what's enabled?  The only project with a decent amount of work is OpenZika, so make sure that one is checked.

Forgive me Punchy, I did not see your question until just now. 
 
Log says... No Task Sent/No tasks are available for the applications you have selected. Over and over and over again. I will just run Collatz tonight and see what the morning brings...
 
In WCG I have OpenZika, Stop TB, Clean energy 2 and any new projects. 

Statistics Last Updated:11/15/16 23:59:59 (UTC) [16 hour(s) ago, Where are you seeing we are in 8th Place?
Found it 10th Place now: https://www.seti-germany.de/wcg/stats_team_all.php?proj=wcg&lang=en
Sorry No Pies for this Challenge, their are no usable individual Point that I can find to use.
 
This seems to be the upfront that Team China  46,773,524 has the hold on the lead.

Try choosing Mapping Cancer Markers (MCM) as well, that usually gets the bulk of the WCG runtime.  You could also try ticking the box for, "If there is no work available for the project(s) I have selected above, please send me work from another project." 
 
/edit:
For reference, here's a list of WCG projects sorted by yesterday's runtime.  This shows how many CPU years were applied to each project yesterday.  This is not an anomaly, it's pretty much the trend in project weight for the past month.  This might help anyone who is struggling to keep their boxen fed.
 

Mapping Cancer Markers: 298 years
Open Zika: 95 years
Outsmart Ebola: 59 years
Fight Aids: 24 years
Help Stop TB: 2 years
Clean Energy: 0 years

 

We dropped due to the heavy bunkering some teams did. One reason why workloads were scarce at first. Clean energy is intermittent and the current work is beta. I've seen very little lately as I added all to my queue for this contest.

Running Mapping Cancer Markers, FightAIDS, Outsmart Ebola and OpenZika here...with lots of tasks ready to crunch..

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my PIE
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"

You are on the Chart Center Top under EABarlan
"Remember that are Points last uploaded Not Total Points."

I went from 1% contribution down to 0%. You guys hit it so much you pushed our stats to under the threshold of the pie. Someone has to add a few decimal points so us small folk can see some numbers.

This the joke.
