I was watching this match and noticed that a ball was sunk on the first rack:

But...the opponent got up and started playing. What am I not understanding here?

Illegal break.

Not enough balls up table.

Thanks. Guess I need to really brush up on my rules!! I was sure confused. What made the break illegal exactly?

A minimum of 3 balls has to either be made and/or go past the head string.

Thanks. I just looked up the rules for that tournament and found it. What is the logic behind it I wonder?
