Contrive dishonest outcome of snooker game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

frame

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'contrive dishonest outcome' is the first definition.
(as in framing someone for a crime)

'snooker game' is the second definition.
(term for a game of snooker)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for frame that I've seen before include "mould" , "Unit of play in snooker tournament" , "Rigid part of a bicycle" , "Supporting, enclosing, structure" , "Snooker game; structure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
