Detecting If We're Competing

Does anyone know of a way to detect if we're at competition? I'm trying to implement a battery-saving mechanism on the driver station that will beep at you (kind of like an alarm clock) after 3 seconds of being below 11 volts, and will disable the robot after 13 seconds; however, I need to make sure the robot doesn't get shut down in the middle of a match. While a simple solution might be to have a control on the dash board, I'd rather have something that can't be so easily flipped.
