I too use the ridge line rigging method for putting up a tarp so that it can be taken down with ease.
I attach the tarp to the line using karabiners and Prusik knots. When taking down the tarp, the ridge line, poles and guys can stay up.
The guys and pegs for the other poles can stay in the ground when karabiners are used at the eyelets for attachment of guys; or via guy loops over the eyelets of the tarp over the spikes of the poles to hold down the tarp.
I would never leave a tarp up unattended or overnight unless I can be certain of light wind and very light rain, after I woke up one morning and found one side of the tarp had collapsed due to a pool of water collected during rain at night, and the ground became so soggy that the Delta pegs got pulled up!
I learnt to make sure there is sufficient gradients in the tarp to minimise water accumulation after that incident, however, I don't want to risk a repeat by leaving it up in case of bad weather.
