I use rotations to play the regular broadcast, but events i was using to play "specials" like my blues on saturday night
You can combine rotations and events for "specials" if you want to load multiple tracks.

It is simple:
Create a rotation with desired number of tracks and then create and even with following actions:

AutoDJ Disable!
Clear Playlist!
Seconds To Wait|1
Load Rotation|7|!Specials
AutoDJ Enable!
Seconds To Wait|1
Load Track By ID|0|13448|specials-jingle.flac|Top
Load Rotation|6|Default rotation


The even will stop Auto DJ, clear playlist, fill playlist from Specials rotation and then resume Auto DJ and switch to default rotation. After all tracks from Specials rotation will have been played, Auto DJ will load tracks from default rotation. Actually,, Auto DJ will load tracks from default rotation as soon as there are less tracks in playlist than number of entries in active rotation.
The only drawback is that you have to know the default rotation when creating event.
I am, therefore I think.
I design and develop web apps, and have created few RadioDJ plugins - https://axellence.lv/downloads/
