Cherry-pick of the century
Sure, I wasn't really expecting a 168/174 dwarf team to accept my 280/197 Chaos team's challenge, but they did - and all credos to Nuwanda for it.

The handicaps weren't too bad - bonehead on one of my chaos warriors (which triggered once), I Am The Greatest on my beastman passer/scorer and my big nasty troll - Doom & Gloom only cost me 2 RRs, and I think Palmed Coin.
Well he chose me to receive to start, which I thought was a brave choice against claws, piling on and multi-blocking chaos. But scored a blitz and knocked down one of my beastmen. Unfortunately he didn't catch a single break for the rest of the game (except maybe his apothecary working when my troll RIPed his "Troll-slayer"). I fouled most turns and got 1 chance to argue the call (successfully). Caused a bunch of BHs and a couple of SIs. After the first niggle he (she?) conceeded the match on turn 7 of the first half (preventing one of my chaos warriors from scoring and skilling) and helping my team's recovery enormously.
As they say at the racetrack - thanks for the money!

I believe this was reversed cherrypicking. Nuwanda saw your CR, and hoped for an easy win.
With a CR of 141, it is hard to cherrypick, cause most of the times you'll be the cherry. ;)

That isn't a cherry pick at all, when calculating the handicaps as 5 TS each you are about even in TS. And then there is the CR effect that actually made your opponent the favorite for this game.
This is a real cherry pick: http://www.fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&op=view&id=2047938
