Amelia Island Championships var en tennisturnering for kvinder, som blev spillet på grusbaner hvert forår i perioden fra 1980 til 2010 i nærheden af Jacksonville, Florida, USA. Turneringen blev markedsført under flere forskellige navne i løbet af dens levetid på grund af skiftende sponsorer, bl.a. Bausch & Lomb Championships og The MPS Group Championships.
Turneringen blev spillet i Amelia Island Plantation i Amelia Island fra 1980 til 2008 – fra 1987 under navnet Bausch & Lomb Championships. Den mistede imidlertid sin titelsponsor, Bausch & Lomb, som ikke forlængede sin kontrakt efter turneringen i 2008. Arrangøren Octagon hyrede Axia Public Relations, et PR-firma, til at finde en ny titelsponsor. I august 2008 kunne Axia og Octagon offentliggøre MPS Group fra Jacksonville som turneringens nye officielle titelsponsor. Octagon flyttede samtidig turneringen 40 km sydpå til Sawgrass Country Club i Ponte Vedra Beach til bedre faciliteter og for at tiltrække et større publikum.
Den 21. maj 2010 offentliggjorde arrangørerne, at turneringen ikke ville blive afholdt i 2011. WTA Tour ønskede at reducere antallet af forårsturneringer afviklet på grus, og MPS Group Championships havde den laveste præmiesum. Touren tilbød alternative terminer i februar og juli, men ingen arena var ledig i februar, og juli egner sig ikke til turneringstennis i Florida på grund af varmen.[1]
En af den mest usædvanlig kampe i tennishistorien blev spillet på Amelia Island i 2002. Anne Kremer besejrede Jennifer Hopkins med 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 i en kamp, hvor spillerne tilsammen begik 29 dobbeltfejl. Efter kampen afslørede en kontrolmåling af banen, at servefelterne ved en fejl var blevet udmålt tre fod kortere end reglerne foreskrev.[2]

Chinese Taipei Olympic Flag. According to the official website of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee, Blue Sky(circle) & White Sun(triangles) above the Olympic rings is neither the National Emblem of the Republic of China, nor the Party Emblem of Kuomintang (KMT), but a design in between, where the triangles do not extend to the edge of the blue circle, as registered at International Olympic Committee in 1981 and digitally rendered in 2013. Besides, the blue outline of the five-petaled plum blossom is broader than the red one. Moreover, the CMYK code of the blue one and the Blue Sky & White Sun is "C100-M100-Y0-K0", and different from the Olympic rings (C100-M25-Y0-K0). Note that it's the only version recognized by IOC.
