I'm personally not doing crossfit. I did want to open a broad conversation about pre-event workouts.

It's pretty specific to the event, IMO.
The greater the demand for pure physical power, the more tapering is important. For things like lifting challenges (powerlifting, strongman) a good strategy is a 6 week block where each week weight increases as volume and frequency decrease.
For physical sports (football, basketball) most of the competitive season should be maintenance. The progress is offseason. In season, it's hard to progress if you're practicing 6 days a week and playing once or twice.
Skill sports, I don't see any harm with a monthly linear progression program in season with no real tapering for events.
