I've done BB's and haven't cut the strap.
Slightly aside, but watch your sanctioning body. The different bodies define tenderness differently. Doesn't seem like a big deal, until you get really into it. For example, KCBS's "bite through" rib is probably better suited to a St Louis Spare cadillac cut if you can. MBN's "pull cleanly from the bone with only slight resistence" is probably better suited to a 2 bone presentation of Baby Backs. And there are others...
