I need to find a timer that..

has a one button reset to a predetermined time like two or three minutes.

It would be a countdown timer that starts at the setting and sounds an alarm it's reached but you could also "reset" it to the original time at any time during the timing.

An egg timer could work but I'm wondering if there is something out there that might work better as the idiots might not set it to the correct time after several beers(I could epoxy a stop or something that maxes it out at the correct time though).

This is for a live fantasy football draft(yes I know) and I want the team to reset the timer after they make their selection. This is a pretty big dollar league that I've done for several years and the timing is always an issue.

A perfect solution would have a plunger or button like a chess timer but instead of keeping total time it would reset the countdown. Does such a beast exist?

I have to believe there is a board game timer out there that does this.

I bought a digital timer for cooking my steaks and it resets back to the originally set time. If you set 3 mins and it went to zero when you hit the stop button it goes back to 3 mins. Same goes if you stop it before.

I cannot for the life of me remember where I got it, I want to say Walgreens.
