So does this mean that if a team chooses to save up design points over the course of a season, they will have more design points to assign at the beginning of the following season?
Don't know how you are reading that out of Jack's post.
He is basically saying that, if you e.g. hire a CD with acceleration as strengh at the end of the season, while you had your older CD for 15-16 races of that season with acceleration as weakness, your acceleration at the beginning of the new season would be under average.
(as the new design is like an average over all races with the CD stats at those particular times).
However, there was apparently a bug in this code, so that will not neccesarly be true for the coming season, especially when the majority of races where held before the bug was repaired ( I guess that would be today).
