Your questions are very very broad man, and really hard to work with, although I do want to help you. Everyone is different, the way one person carb loads v.s another is completely different. The way I am carb loading for my show nov 3 is completely different from the arnold last year.
The hemavol trick should not affect the way you carb load, although I do suggest keeping your salt into low up to the point of doing the trick, and sticking with dry carb sources like potato's cut into french fries, baked. Nothing with water like pasta, rice etc. Keep yourself dry as the GMS and salt will swell your muscles. if you are already wet, you may spill over.
You can do it before pre-judging and night show, I do. What to eat between that time is very specific and selective and again, has nothing to do with the trick, but I would follow the same approach with dry carbs to stay full.

And also, just a friendly reminder, as with any show or important event, never try a new protocol. Always try it before hand so you can tweak it if necessary.
