Most, if not all the teams, including mine, have probably signed up and booked the rooms in advance for a "just in case" setup. If you don't pre-book earily enough, you will be driving/transporting back and forth to the event.

Rooms will start to open up as teams find out if they have made it or not. As for it being a guessing game of when the team drop and spaces are open, ya, probably. I always see open room threads and request start to pop up as it gets closer to the event.
