Before You Start
The Basics
- Reversions can be entered into the NMS Match System when the system opens for the entry of rankings on January 15, 2024, and must be entered by the Phase I Rank Order List deadline at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on February 2, 2024. Reversions are only permitted in Phase I of the Match.
- Reversions can only be set up between Rank Order Lists submitted by the same training site.
- Reversions must be entered and maintained in the NMS Match System by the Donor.
- For reversions involving programs that will submit Multiple Lists for a single program, the Multiple Lists must be set up before the reversions can be entered.
Rules
- A Donor can revert some or all of its unfilled positions. It can also revert unfilled positions to more than one Receiver (example).
- If a Donor will revert unfilled positions to more than one Receiver, you must set up a separate reversion specifying each Receiver. The reversions must be entered in the sequence in which the unfilled positions should be donated.
- Reversions of unfilled positions can be "chained"; for example, List A can revert unfilled positions to List B, and if any positions remain unfilled on List B, then these positions can revert to List C, and so on.
- Reversions cannot be circular, that is, a chain of reversions cannot "loop back" to the beginning. For example, if you add one reversion from List A to List B, another from List B to List C, you cannot also add a reversion from List C back to List A.
Note: entering or modifying a reversion will not change the certification status of a Rank Order List.
If you have questions about reversions, contact NMS.

Add a Reversion
-
From a Donor Program that is Submitting a Single Rank Order List
Step 1
Loginto the NMS Match System for the program that will be the Donor.
Step 2
Select the Reversions option from the menu.
Step 3
The Reversions page is set up in two sections. The upper section shows all reversions where the selected program is the Donor. The lower section shows all reversions where the selected program is the Receiver.
Select the Add Reversion button in the Donor section.
Step 4
For each reversion you want to add, you must select:
- The Receiver program. If the Receiver program has Multiple Lists, you must select the specific List that will receive the reverted position(s).
- The maximum number of unfilled positions to be reverted from the Donor to the Receiver. If the Donor should revert all unfilled positions to the Receiver, select the option for "ALL". Note: if the Donor may also receive positions from another reversion, any positions received from that reversion are included in the maximum number of positions available to donate (example).
- Where the reverted position(s) should be offered in Phase II of the Match if they do not fill in the Receiver program (read more).
Step 5
Once all options are selected, press the Add button.
-
From a Donor Program that is Submitting Multiple Lists
Make sure you have set up your Multiple Lists before entering reversions.
Step 1
Loginto the NMS Match System for the Donor program with the Multiple Lists.
Step 2
Select the Reversions option from the menu.
Step 3
Press the Select button for the List that will be the Donor for the reversion.
Step 4
The Reversions page is set up in two sections. The upper section shows all the reversions where the selected List is the Donor. The lower section shows all the reversions where the selected List is the Receiver.
Select the Add Reversion button in the Donor section.
Step 5
For each reversion you want to add, you must select:
- The Receiver List. The Receiver can be another List for the same program or a List for a different program offered by your training site.
- The maximum number of unfilled positions to be reverted from the Donor to the Receiver. If the Donor should revert all unfilled positions to the Receiver, select the option for "ALL". Note: if the Donor may also receive positions from another reversion, any positions received from that reversion are included in the maximum number of positions available to donate. (example)
- If the Receiver is a different program than the Donor, select the option to indicate where the reverted position(s) should be offered in Phase II of the Match if they do not fill in the Receiver program (read more).
Note: The option to move reverted positions back to the Donor for Phase II does not apply for reversions between Multiple Lists for the same program. In this case, you should leave the default selection of "Leave positions in Receiver" unchanged.
Step 6
Once all options are selected, press the Add button.
Note: Adding a reversion between two Multiple Lists for the same program will create a record in both the Donor and Receiver sections of the Reversions page for the program, as Lists belonging to the program are both a Donor and a Receiver.
-
Changing a Reversion
If you need to change a reversion, you must delete the reversion and add a new one. To delete a reversion, press the Delete button to the right of the reversion you wish to delete.
Each reversion added for a Donor is automatically assigned a Sequence Number, starting with 1 for the first reversion from the Donor. If more than one reversion will be set up from the Donor, the reversions must be entered in the exact sequence in which the donations of positions are to occur.

Reversion Summary
The Reversion Summary page shows all reversions that involve programs at your training site. Once all reversions for your training site have been entered, you should print a copy of the Reversion Summary for your records. The Reversion Summary page will be available from January 15, 2024 until February 19, 2024, however you will not be able to make any changes to reversions after the Rank Order List deadline.
