Word seems to be, as usual, they will be release when they are finished to a standard such that we won't have a repeat of previous issues.
Do you think they will be released by the end of this year?

Kit said in an interview with Chris that they probably won't.

So you're saying that they will probably allow stickerless puzzles just in the beginning of 2016 instead of now.
In practice, there are many different ways of dealing with newer competitors. Although it hasn't been written in the regulations, many delegates have given leniency to a newer competitor as to not discourage them from going to competitions because of a bad experience. We wanted to create a consistent way to approach these situations, so we decided that the best way to handle this is to give a new attempt rather than ignore penalties or any other approach.
As for your question, this is generally targeted at first-time competitors, but we didn't want to be that restrictive -- maybe it's their second competition and the incident stems from an event they didn't compete in at their first competition. Thus, we thought loosening to "newer" would at least not make it so exclusive to first-time competitors.
Again, this leniency is given with delegate discretion, and should rarely be given again to the same competitor. It's not meant to be a way to get out of a bad solve by any means.
YAY REGS ARE OUT!!!! I CAN NOW USE MY STICKERLESS GUHONG!!!
Is this a good time to say there should be a checkbox for "I have read the regulations" when registering for a competition?
Does anyone think that would work?
