Playing in a teams match we missed a good game after mild interference.

We were playing 4 card majors with a weak NT.



Should East just bid the game, or should West accept the invitation?

IMO east should just bid game.

You have a fit, you have roughly a 4.5 loser hand, you hve lots of controls, you have a good quality trump suit, it is imps...just bid game....

I wouldn't be too upset about not being in this NV game, it's not a very good contract. Particularly if you have to play it single-dummy (i.e. you can't look at their hands to decide which major suit finesse to take), and the clubs aren't blocked.

Playing 4 card majors, I would just bid game with the East hand.

There is a likelihood that partner has 4 hearts for the raise, and it doesn't take much more than no trump losers along with whatever values that partner has to make game.
