You are allowed to make a “grandstand catch” of a psych that is based on bridge logic.
You are NOT allowed to make a “grandstand catch” of a psych that is based solely on your knowledge of partner's proclivities, as you said, Steve Bloom. In this example, East should of course have bid 4H after West ostensibly offers a choice of games. But East knows partner frequently does this. This should NOT be allowed to stand.

I'd have to speak to my partner, but I think we could possibly do a couple of evenings. Do you have any problems playing against weird systems (MICS–canape with a Precision base)?

As I understand the rules, how can this hand do ANYTHING ethically but bid 4S?
You have a situation where it is likely one player is psyching. As I understand the rules, you may only make a grandstand catch of pd's psych by bridge logic. Doing anything–Pass or 3S–is trying to make a grandstand catch of a psych that you cannot by bridge logic.
If someone is allowed to play pd to be the one psyching here on this hand, there's something wrong with the rules.

I'll beat on it until the Board of Directors gets it's head out of its a** on this issue. It's ridiculous that you cannot play Multi in a Flight A pair event.

Many, many moons ago I was playing in a club game, and one opponent got back to the table a couple of minutes after the round started. My partner jokingly said “We played them for you already. All three boards, in 7NT making.”

The average age is 72. There's no point to having Senior events that exclude a small percentage of the membership. If the age limit were say 65+, or even 70+, that would make a bit more sense.
