There seem to be a bunch of new regionals and districts this year, and (at least in our area) not as many new teams as in recent years. My advice is to look up the regional in your area, and find some teams who were there the last year or two. Then, compare the number of teams at the venue this year compared to last year. If the number of teams is level or decreased, expect at least as large a pit as was available last year. If it has gone up, be prepared for it to decrease. At Bayou, we've had 10x10x10 pits the last three years, and we've dropped from 57 teams last year to 48 this year. Most of the reduction seems to be in teams that traveled more than six hours to Bayou.
