I saw these posted too but Hotdog beat me to it. We received Commander's Cup awards and the Right Stuff award was handed out at corporate camp last October.

Commander's Cup is given to teams who reach a certain number of points on their missions, although Space Camp just posted that an official description will be posted to their Facebook page soon.

I understand how big facebook is, but it's truly annoying that SC is moving so much of their info to there.. They're gutting their website on section at a time, it seems.
As for the commander's cup thing, that must be new. The team I was on in 2012 surely would have won it had it existed then as we dominated the other team...

Yes none of the patches are in the gift shop, I was there three weeks ago. I wonder why the new space camp patch is not there???

And all this time I was thinking Commander's Cup was likely just a new name for the SpaceBowl trivia game.

So the Commander's Cup will essentially be the "Best Team" award, as determined by points, to eliminate any bias among crew trainers?

Makes sense.
Frankly, I always wondered how such things are figured out. I had difficulty believing any other team had a better shuttle mission than our Charlie mission last year, it went great, got off the pad just fine, EVA went great, and I totally greased the landing as commander. Mt pilot and I seriously thought we must have been tight in the running for that as that mission went great...

The Commander's Cup is awarded to the team who accumulates the most points in graded events: mission patch, mission, mars/lunar mission, and space bowl. (I wonder if Area 51 is included for ASA teams.)
