If a few teams break off that means they are taking their players and moving from one org to another - happens all the time. Usually because there was some issue between the coaches of the team and the organization, whatever that might be and the players/parents support the move. Maybe there was no issue and the team just feels like they will get more exposure or notoriety moving from Org A to Org B. I'm sure all kinds of promises are made to encourage the move because a new team added to an org increases their earning potential as well as their name/reputation. I want to say all the movement is good for the players but in all actuality it is probably just all about money/power for the organizations - I mean the movement may generate some recruiting opportunities for the players depending on the new org support, maybe
Both the ones I seen recently, all the teams will remain to be controlled by the same people. Just part of there teams will be called another name. Pretty sure the teams with the new names will be considered premier, elite or whatever name you want to attach for the org.If a few teams break off that means they are taking their players and moving from one org to another - happens all the time.

If it is just name changes of teams within an organization then more than likely they are trying to develop a hierarchy of teams is my guess. Sometimes there are "premier" level teams and then "platinum" level teams etc. Sometimes different age group teams are have a different adjective behind their name. I'm honestly not too familiar with why but I will say they are probably modeling a little after the PGF model - they have a "Premier" group of teams and then a "Platinum" group of teams. Premier is the highest level with Platinum just behind - kinda like Gold and Silver (not that any team would name themselves Silver).
This looks like most teams will transition to the Top Gun name along with the Top Gun org uniforms etc. For whatever reason Top Gun didn't want the younger teams so those are staying with the Kentucky Chrome organization and won't be managed by Top Gun. The little girls will get the opportunity to move up if they improve as they age but will like stay in KY and play local tournaments. Basically even if the same people are managing the KY based teams - the ones under the TG umbrella likely will have different rules they have to follow with those teams but they can run the KY named teams however they want.
I stand corrected. Odd that Top Gun didn't want the younger ones (eg their $$) although it might be that they don't actually have any 8U or 10U divisions in their org.
My impression on this topic...
