Help
hi
Just a point here .. if i read the original post correctly, 2D is multi .. no-one mentioned this in the discussion .. but the opener could have a weak 2 Major ,, even possibly weak2 in spades .. so the 4S bid is daft. (I know we can see from the layout that the ops have diamonds) North must not act so precipitately unless the 2d can be passed.

Am going to give equal blame to both players. North for the slight overbid of 4S with a four card heart suit, and South, for not realizing that to have a grand slam try he/she should have some sort of control in the majors to keep going.

4♠ was a huge overbid.
The correct overcall is 2♠ (or equivalent according to methods - double in my methods).
7♠ by Justin was a little optimistic. You'd expect a grand to have play after this sequence, but worse than normal breaks are expected. I'd therefore bid 6♠. I'd give north 80% of the blame and south 20%.

I don't think many ACBL players play against multi 2D.
You want actually to play in 2S with the North hand? That's your value bid over a possible weak hand. Not for me.
