If this is a site-wide "stage", I assume it will be stored somewhere.
If so, why not use some router magic?
switch (STAGE)
{
case 1:
Router::connect('/contests/*', array('controller' =>
'submissions'));
break;
case 2:
Router::connect('/contests/*', array('controller' =>
'votings'));
break;
case 3:
Router::connect('/contests/*', array('controller' => 'awards'));
break;
}
I'm not sure if this would work, but it's an idea..
