Procedure
Aircraft X was short final to runway 25; the active runway; on a visual approach clearance.  Aircraft Y was on the VOR/DME approx 4 mile final runway 7 circling to runway 25. I believe this manner of air traffic control in this situation was good clean ATC with no loss of separation. However; do to the national Opposite Direction Operation (ODO) procedures the sequence of events were not used in an appropriate manner. For my 15 years of experience; this is how I have always controlled ODO/circling.  Military aircraft need the circling procedures for practice as part of there training. When facilities like FSM can accommodate this they come and increase our traffic count. Due to recent historical events ODO have became harder to achieve because of the 10NM mandates.I have no recommendations for my actions other than trying to follow the ODO procedures.
FSM Controller reports of an Opposite Direction Operation (ODO) that isn't described well; but sounds like it wasn't done in accordance with the SOP.
