We nearly ran into an issue with this the morning of us leaving for Arkansas. School called to confirm that we did not have a female chaperon going (we did not for day 1) and were concerned that we only had 1 female going with the early group (some left Wednesday, rest came Thursday). Basically didn't want her in a room by herself. Thankfully another female student was traveling down with her parents that same day and would be staying in the room as well. So the school was fine with it.

We do have to keep an eye on numbers that we bring early. Thankfully our pit crew is about 50-50 so we have some flexibility to even out numbers for hotel rooms. We haven't had a girl on drive team in a few years, though our backup auxiliary driver has been for past 3 years. We have 50-60 students on our team so its easier. I can see how 10 with proportional mentor/chaperon support can make things tricky. I would work with the school and see what they can recommend/work out should this be an issue in the future.
