Has anyone tried this? Tricks before prejudging

[I <3 sQuaTs]

I'm doing a contest in 5 weeks. I've come in fine before by eating a snickers or a random sugar before prejudging. However, this year the prejudging is on friday and finals are on saturday, so I have to choose my prejuding sugar wisely. I thought about this combination before I go on stage, but I haven't tried it before:
Maltodextrine: quickly absorbed and sodium free (so that I don't retain water for finals)
Creatine Ethyl Ester : drawing subcutaneous H2O into the cells
L-Arginine or NO product: Muscular fullness and vasodilation.

If anyone with EXPERIENCE or KNOWLEDGE about these particular supplements (dosage, timing, pros/cons, whatever) for use before stepping on stage around pump-up time...that would be great. Thanks buddies.

i dont have personal experience as i havent ever done a show yet...

however..

when i went with my buddy

right before prejudging he drank a little bottle of wine and then used this oil that actually makes you pretty vascular (and he says its hot) and it smells like cinnamon.

he ate rice cakes to soak up any water (i guess) and for a little energy.
