Can anyone tell me what the '39' stands for?

Is it no longer possible to play Ard Ri on this site with the starting position in the traditional cross? The 'invite for a new game' page lists Ard Ri in only the '39' variant.

Game balance was measured to +1.73 so it was taken out.
But it's reinserted now so you can try it.

Thanks. Even though the traditional setup has a worse balance statistic, I feel it has a nicer start position.
