Trance (Ex): At 3rd level, a swordmaster learns to focus her martial prowess using an intense meditative trance. Under the influence of a trance, the swordmaster can perform fantastic martial feats. Entering a trance is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. The swordmaster can maintain the trance for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Wisdom modifier. At each level beyond 3rd, she can remain in the trance for 1 additional round. She can end her trance as a free action. Following a trance, the swordmaster is fatigued for a number of rounds equal to 2 × the number of rounds she spent in the trance. A swordmaster cannot enter a new trance while fatigued but can otherwise enter a trance multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a swordmaster falls unconscious, her trance immediately ends.
Tiger Trance (Ex): The swordmaster pounces upon her opponents, striking with the ferocity and brute force of a wild tiger. While in this trance, a swordmaster can make a combat maneuver check against an opponent within charge range. If she succeeds, she may charge that opponent and make a full attack against that opponent.
Is this how it works?:
round one: I enter the trance, I use a Full-round action and cannot do anything else that round, not expending any rounds per day of trance.
round two: I maintain my trance by expending one round per day and can do whatever power my trance gives me.
or do I have this totally wrong?
Also once in the trance and I use Tiger Trance is the combat maneuver check a standard action and if successful I get a "free" charge or how does that work?

As far as the combat maneuver check goes I would treat it as part of the charge action; success = pounce, failure = normal charge. Little hazy as to whether you'd get the charge bonus on the CMB; I'd probably rule yes.
As far as the trance mechanic; that is how summon monster/full round action spellcasting works, so it would make sense for the mechanic to copy that.
