I am certainly not holding this rack, but it appears to be a 9 point by Boone and Crockett standards. Many folks down this way count any protrusion on which one can "hang a ring" as a point.

However, I feel that the B&C standard is fair and certainly brings consistency to those who are into "horn". One can go to the Boone and Crockett web site for the details .... the B&C definition of a point is essentially that it must protrude at least an inch from the base. The split of the G1 that is visible in this photo does not appear to me to be much more than a "split", and not long enough to be counted as a point - by this standard. Regardless of point count, this is a nice buck for sure and should have some nice sized back straps plus plenty of good rump roasts !
